St Kilda House: Complete Revival of a 1850’s Cottage

Before and after - complete revival of a 1850’s cottage (9)

St Kilda House is an old abandoned cottage that has been transformed by Melbourne-based Jost Architects into a lively and vibrant home.

Description by Jost Architects: This project was the complete revival of a severely dilapidated 1850’s cottage on death’s door. The brief called for an open plan living, dining, kitchen, rumpus room, bathroom, walk in pantry & laundry, 3 bedrooms, ensuite, walk in robe, and an outdoor area, all on a limited site size of 238m². This was accomplished by building around “the back yard” in a “U” shape facing north, providing maximum natural light. Materials and finishes were selected to be hard-wearing and maintenance-free, to endure the enthusiastic creativity of young children, while remaining sympathetic to adult sensibilities. The group objective was to create a highly contemporary space with enduring and classic features. Photography: Andrew Wuttke

Troglodyte Villa, Monaco / Jean-Pierre Lott Architecte

Building a troglodyte villa poses the question of the human relationship with nature, from nature to culture: how can one carve out a house form a rock, a landscape, without altering it, by respecting its volumes, its fractures and vegetation.

A differentiating but timeless proposal and, above all, with a lot of style and personality, based on monochrome; all in a color out of trend (Powdered pink) to generate the "filter glasses" experience.
