Located in Prospect, Australia, Pear Tree House is a fascinating design masterpiece that showcases a seamless transition between the old and the new. This house surprises with its discreet and simple appearance on the facade, which hides much more than one can imagine.

Facing the street, it appears as a beautiful and carefully renovated old stone villa, respecting the other historic houses on the street. At the back, it’s a gorgeous pavilion inspired by mid-century style.

The residents’ desire was to ensure that the modern extension remained in harmony with the character of the original 1890 sandstone cottage, which occupied a small plot of 627 square meters. To meet this demand, Glasshouse Projects reconfigured the older rear part of the house, creating more areas for private retreat as well as common spaces for entertainment and socializing.

The renovation of Pear Tree House offers a perfect division between the old and the new, where a structured floating box, connected to a sunken garden and a rectangular pool, elevates traditional charm to modern sophistication.

The addition of the 300-square-meter extension brought a series of new features to Pear Tree House, including a master bedroom with ensuite bathroom, dining area, kitchen, pantry, laundry, powder room, guest bathroom, office, and outdoor pool and living areas. Additionally, a side entrance was incorporated to offer additional convenience, allowing direct access to the kitchen and living area, as well as convenient parking.

Internally, the open joinery intersects to create the partition between the office and living spaces, allowing residents to work privately but still feel connected to the rest of the house, also taking advantage of the natural light provided by the skylight and oversized windows.

Birch Le Collaboration House

Hygge Supply completed this ultimate kit home in June 2019 and began offering overnight stays to potential clients and design enthusiasts on July 1. Designed and built with the intention of being an experiential showroom for potential clients, Hygge Supply founder and designer, Kelly Sean Karcher, envisioned the home to incorporate those materials and products that fell in line both aesthetically and ethically with principles of the Hygge Supply brand. “I wanted this home to highlight the best of Hygge Supply. That included visually the design of the home, practically with the simplicity of the systems used to construct the home, and lastly, with the products and materials we used in the home. We wanted to partner with companies who shared not only a similar design philosophy, but that also were environmentally responsible and sustainable,” Karcher stated. Karcher and team partnered with several different companies to bring the home to life. On the exterior, Hygge Supply partnered with Thermory for the responsibly sourced, chemical-free spruce cladding. Hygge also used Marvin for all windows and doors in the home, which are produced in the US using environmentally friendly manufacturing processes. On the interior, Hygge partnered with sustainable architectural material distributor, Cara Green, to source solid surface Durat countertops, which are made from 30-50% recycled hard plastics and are 100% recyclable. Low-VOC C2 Luxe paint was used throughout the home. All cabinets, vanities, and kitchen islands are designed and produced by Hygge Supply, using no-VOC powder coat finishes. Hygge Supply partnered exclusively with Rove Concepts for the interior furnishings. With a focus on modern contemporary and Nordic designs, Rove Concepts aligned with the Scandinavian inspiration that drove Karcher to develop Hygge Supply. “I was drawn to the clean lines and neutral tones of Rove Concepts. The design of the furniture felt like it could be a natural extension of the home,” Karcher said. “At Hygge Supply, we believe in comfortable minimalism and Rove Concepts really offered that to us in statement pieces that were warm and inviting and could stand on their own.” Hygge Supply also partnered with Fermob to furnish the exterior, creating an inviting and elegant outdoor living and dining area in the large covered porch. Followers of the company can book a visit to the 3 bedroom (there is a bunk space), 2.5 bathroom house managed by the short-term rental arm of the company Hygge Stay.
