Constrast between the Edwardian home in front and the modern at times brutalist rear extension with its strong solid forms. Contrast between block and marble and timber cabinetry. Constrast between dark and light, in and out. All this contrast in a South Yarra, Melbourne home, the result of a successful collaboration between Pop Architecture and Beatrix Rowe Interior Design.

“The Barrow Street brownstone is a classic 1850s Victorian brownstone in Jersey City’s Van Vorst Park. With many of its beautiful, original details left intact—including crown molding, stained glass windows, and a unique wooden grand staircase—And Studio’s vision was to preserve and amplify the space’s character while layering in modern functionality, depth, and warmth. Inspired by the tactile utility of London townhouses, we sought out to create a home that felt wholly authentic, a balance of nuanced detail and open space.” ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Zen and the art of respectful restoration by And Studio Interiors. With a nod to the past, this Victorian-era home more than fulfils the needs of modern living whilst celebrating the history of the house.

Playful, colourful and thoughtful. A small Georgian terrace has been given a new life under the talented hands of Sarah Peake of Studio Peake. Modern meets old and the result is a fabulous family home that to a foreigner like me is quintessentially English.

“From the exterior, the black front gate and refreshed white façade of the villa hide a transformation inside. A self-described ugly duckling, with tinges of 1960s villa, has been transformed into a cohesive, light-filled family home that embraces the clients’ love of cooking and collecting.”

A neutral colour palette, natural materials like terracotta tiles, rattan and stone as well as a reconsidered layout, these design solutions have see the ugly duckling become a swan. The Bowerbird Home by Beatrix Rowe. But why bowerbird. Well that’s the homeowner and their penchant for collecting.
