Foomann Architects Completes Lorne Road House Renovation and Extension in Australia
Foomann Architects has completed a renovation and two-storey extension of a semi-detached Edwardian cottage known as Lorne Road House. The project, finished in 2024, encompasses 197 m² and was photographed by Willem-Dirk Du Toit. The alteration, carried out several years after the neighbouring property was renovated, respects both the heritage and contemporary buildings. Inside, the design features a calm and cohesive atmosphere, subtly enhanced by gentle curves, eclectic details, and atmospheric light. The clients, a family of five, commissioned Foomann to refresh the heritage portion of the house and add a new living space, playroom, main bedroom, and mezzanine study. Ferne Built served as general contractor. The project is located in Australia and falls under the Houses category. Curated by Miwa Negoro, the work was published on ArchDaily. The architects provided the text description, emphasising the sympathetic integration of old and new elements.
