Description
Rippleside House pairs a heritage-listed cottage in Geelong with a contemporary extension that adds several living zones and a garage. Rather than imitate the original, Lachlan Shepherd Architects chose to shadow it: a new steel structure wraps the existing form, finished in Colorbond Monument "nailstrip" profile sheeting. The dark addition sits deliberately against the white heritage cottage, a quiet counterpoint that still nods back to the older dwelling through subtle visual cues.
Set across two levels and roughly 380 m2 on an 840 m2 site, the 2019 project lets old and new read clearly as separate yet connected forms.
