A modern dark brick house addition.

Australian architecture firm Jackson Clements Burrows Architects (JCB) has designed the transformation of an existing heritage building in Melbourne and created a modern two-story addition.

A refined and subtle palette of dark brick, steel, and timber, gives the home a contemporary appearance, while the brick design and large windows allow natural light to filter through to the interior.
