An existing heritage terrace house in North Carlton was completely restored and renovated, as part of a larger masterplan.

Existing walls were removed to create more lofty and open plan living, along with new kitchen and bathroom fit-outs. A long strip of operable skylights cuts through the main living area and extends into the corridor, to create a point of interest and introduce ample natural light to counter a problem of darkness often faced in Victorian terraces.

An external steel gangway and stair enclosure creates a modern interpretation of the verandah/porch, which allows natural light to ground floor areas while also providing shelter from harsh westerly sun.

A neutral colour scheme for the interiors helps amplify spaces, which are punctuated by bold splashes of colour throughout.
