The Vader House

Created by Melbourne-based architect Andrew Maynard, the Vader House is a Victorian terrace extension, which was commissioned by a couple who requested a large flexible area suitable for entertaining.
Due to non-standard height regulations, the high northern boundary walls and unique roof line offer maximized living space combined with a modern architectural design. The new center of the house is an outdoor courtyard space, accessed by a series of glass doors, providing a complete opposite of the dark masonry-clad rooms of the old house.
