Ben Callery Architects worked together with builder Truewood Construction to design and complete this modern extension on a house in Melbourne, Australia, whose owners wanted to open up the back of the house to take advantage of the sun.

The sculptural roof sits over the extension and twists symmetrically around a central ridge. Clerestory windows follow the roof line allow sunlight to enter the interior from all sides.

Inside, there’s a white timber ceiling that compliments the walls and built-in storage cabinets, and is used to create a sense of lightness to the space.

As with many Australian homes, indoor / outdoor living is a must, and with this house, a window in the kitchen opens up to the recycled brick patio and acts as a bar.

In the kitchen, recycled timber cabinetry adds a natural touch and it ties in with the timber window frames and wood dining table to create a contemporary appearance.
