Stalking modern minimalism behind a Victorian facade

Posted on Fri, 21 Jul 2017 by midcenturyjo

It must be an Australian thing but all the fun happens out the back of our houses especially in old houses with new extensions. I’m stalking a Victorian era house in a leafy street in Melbourne’s Elwood. While the facade sports a cool contemporary paint job the building still remains true to its architectural past. Hints of what is to come are revealed as you walk through the front door passing the bedrooms then BAM! all minimal and scandi, edgy and modern. Link here while it lasts.

P.S. Does anyone else’s inner stylist want to tidy those beds and pull the vacuum cleaner backwards and forwards evenly over the carpet?

Normally I do not like it when modern is taken into an old house, it´s a thin line to balance on, but this is gorgeous! The butterfly chair, wow! And the patio, and the studio!

Yes, I'll have that please! Can anyone tie it to a boat and row it over to me in Ireland?! Would be grand… Thanks.
