Plymouth 2 Renovation – A Dialogue Between Eras
Sitting proudly on a prominent corner lot, Plymouth 2 is a character-listed home with a rich history and a new chapter waiting to unfold. Built nearly a century ago, its strong yet understated form has stood the test of time. Now, with a growing family in need of space, the opportunity arises to expand—not by altering its essence, but by complementing it.
With a blank canvas extending along the long side of the lot, the new addition is conceived as a subtle yet distinct counterpart. Rather than competing with the original structure, it establishes a quiet connection—allowing the two forms, born of different eras, to coexist in harmony. This seamless integration ensures the home retains its character while embracing contemporary living.
The material palette is light and refined, enhancing the sense of openness on the corner site. Carefully positioned openings frame views and provide privacy where needed, while the architectural expression offers a refined balance between presence and restraint. The result is not just a functional response to modern family life but a considered piece of living art—one that respects its past, embraces its present, and enriches the streetscape for all to enjoy.
