The project
Borland Architecture transformed a 1960s red brick bungalow in the countryside of Strath Creek, Victoria, into a modern, sustainable holiday home for lease, completed in 2022 and built by UpBuild Constructions. The client also owns the practice's nearby Narandurnung House.
Rather than demolish the out-of-place suburban house, the design recycled and reworked it under new gabled roofs, with full-height glazed gable ends, a vaulted living space with a fireplace and a long covered deck facing the hills.
