The clients envisioned a welcoming home where family, friends, and neighbours could easily gather. This vision influenced the design approach emphasizing preservation over expansion. The Edwardian exterior was celebrated and the interiors were reimagined to accommodate a growing family of five.

Light timber accents and an earthy palette create a relaxed atmosphere, focusing on enhancing garden connections and maximizing natural light. Elonera House by Melbourne-based Studio Doherty.
