While Edwardian timber homes are common in Sandringham, a beachside suburb in Melbourne, this one features a custom rear extension with two gable roofs that house the master bedroom, kitchen, and dining room. The open plan allows the spaces to flow into the yard, which features a new patio with a timber pergola for open-air dining.

Another money-saving choice was changing the driveway from a stone paver driveway to poured concrete. The roof is designed to collect rainwater, which travels through a set of pipes for storage in a 39,000-gallon cistern behind the house.

Japan-based AtMa’s J39.5 is a series of chairs made from reassembled parts of the J39 chair, originally designed by Børge Mogensen. As studio cofounder Ayumi Koyama explained to me, the project all started with a vintage warehouse find.
