A 1936 duplex originally designed by Marcus Martin is transformed with a contemporary addition by Paul Conrad Architects that explores old-new relationships. The design preserves and honors characteristic elements of 1930s Toorak and South Yarra interwar homes while delivering a recent contemporary volume that collaborates with the existing form. The two volumes employ distinct architectural languages that are made to feel cohesive and unified through sympathetic interventions. The studio applies a design ethos focused on reinterpreting classical architectural forms with a modernist approach, balancing historical reference and contemporary expression.
