Is it a mixture of two polar extremes? Then, how does it fit each other? Well, you can find the answer in the White House. With many alterations and additions to what was an old Federation building in Sydney, this residence has become a charming, all-equipped family crib. The original elements were kept and improved, giving a lovely traditional appearance. The official description goes: “Our philosophy is that good architecture is created through good collaboration and successful compromise. The challenges of designing a ‘modern’ extension to a significant Federation house in a conservation area were embraced with the result a smooth collaboration between architect, client and council. The addition wraps around the old which is legible both internally and externally. Materials used on all surfaces move inside and out and all planes and spaces become articulated.” Via
