Colonnade House
Location: Malvern
Architect: Splinter Society
Builder: Quadro Constructions
Photographer: Sharyn Cairns
Splinter Society used a contrast of timeless aesthetics and modern ingenuity to design a robust and striking new rear addition on a federation-style home.
Our steel framing was chosen after considering our attention to detail, and the fluidity of our style, which can complement both modern and heritage approaches.
Our innovative approach to steel helped to elevate a traditional medium, while offering a more sustainable solution for the new build.
We helped to create a new identity for the home, with the use of Classic profile steel framed doors and windows, which supported large amounts of glazing, providing a cohesion with the black accents, and a contrast against the purity of the concrete.
The use of steel-framed doors and windows allowed the new addition to sit confidently alongside the home’s original federation character while introducing a contemporary architectural language. Slim-profile steel frames enabled expansive glazing, maximising natural light and strengthening the visual connection between the interior spaces and the surrounding garden. This considered application of custom steel windows and doors reinforced the home’s new identity, balancing heritage sensitivity with modern performance and durability.
