Taking full advantage of its corner position and northern aspect, this residence presents as an outstanding Victorian home thoughtfully reimagined by Guild Architects for contemporary living as comfortable to live in as it is beautiful to look at. Beyond the lovingly restored period faade and original front rooms, including a central living room, a carefully executed architectural intervention transforms the rear into a light-filled, design focused domain that provides a second living space and kitchen. Defined by a confident material palette, recycled Messmate timber introduces warmth and texture, complemented by black steel framed windows that welcome light from multiple directions and create a direct relationship to the courtyard and garden beyond. Set within a highly desirable neighbourhood celebrated for its village character and close proximity to the CBD, the location is rich in green spaces.
