Monroe Street House, a fully renovated 1899 brick rowhouse, combines historic charm with modern, sunlit interiors for a multi-generational family. TBo‘s design retains the Federal-style character while adding a spacious concrete-framed extension, featuring raw, natural materials that will develop a beautiful patina over time. Inside, airy rooms with lime-plastered walls contrast the exposed brick and Douglas fir ceiling beams lend warmth and texture. The ground floor studio opens into a polished concrete space, blending smoothly into the garden. Each floor emphasizes openness, with large windows and doors inviting light, creating a serene, flexible living space that seamlessly blends old and new.

“This project celebrated a new chapter for the client as they entered the “empty nest” stage of life. The client wanted a place that was more serene and private, but would still accommodate and encourage frequent visits from their growing family. The home’s stunning views and landscape against the hills of Bommer Canyon, the Spanish architectural elements, timeless interior details and natural surroundings created a cohesive space that celebrates the very best of indoor-outdoor living.”

No.8 is a carefully restored townhouse, the result of a meticulous three-year renovation. From the outside, its heritage features like the new roof, sash windows, and lime-rendered facade honour the conservation area’s history. Inside, a bold transformation unfolds, showcasing thoughtful craftsmanship with custom timber doors, double-height spaces, and an indoor-outdoor flow. HUTCH‘s vision turned this once-dark home into a vibrant sanctuary, blending modern and natural elements. Iconic collectibles, warm textures, and playful, curated spaces create a uniquely inviting interior, bridging classic elegance and contemporary design in an inspiring urban revival.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Annina Showroom, Holland Park by Isabella Worsley.
