A suburban retreat just moments from the heart of Melbourne, this contemporary extension to a traditional single-fronted Victorian terrace offers a calming escape from the pace of inner-city life. Thoughtful materiality and a restrained palette shape light-filled, ambient spaces that feel both refined and deeply relaxing. Designed as a sanctuary from the demands of corporate life, the home effortlessly blends heritage charm with modern serenity.
