A White Palette Helps Connect This Heritage Home With Its New Addition

A modern home with a white exterior and interior.

Dalecki Design has shared photos of a home they remodeled in Subiaco, Australia, which includes a contemporary rear addition and a white color palette throughout.

The heritage character of the original house and the bright but calm feeling of the new addition are harmoniously brought together through subtle detailing, thoughtful material pairings, and a sense of layered encounter.

The rear of the home, with its curved design, creates a shaded space underneath that's been furnished as an outdoor lounge and dining area.

Embracing an all-white palette, lifted with accents of timber and stone, the home addresses the clients’ desire for a peaceful, calming interior. Sliding glass doors connect the interior and exterior spaces.

The new, light-filled living spaces of the home, designed by interiors firm FTB Consult, center around the dining area, where a lofty ceiling height and expansive landscape view emphasize its role as a central living space.
