Aintree Road Residence

This contemporary home is located in the leafy south-eastern suburb of Glen Iris, Melbourne. Nestled within a streetscape of early century bungalows, the home comfortably takes the place of the previous weatherboard cottage, wrapping the slender new building form is the warmth of stained Silver Ash timber cladding. The stained is a rich, dark chocolate colour which visually grounds the house into the lush green landscaped gardens. Photography by Peter Bennetts
