199 Rathdowne Street, Carlton

This unique project transformed a heritage-listed two-storey residence through a carefully considered renovation and contemporary extension. The design respected the character and significance of the original building while reimagining its internal layout for modern living. A rear addition enhanced the home's functionality, delivering new spaces that complemented the original structure and improved overall livability.

Key highlights:

  • Full refurbishment of the internal layout of the existing heritage two-story building
  • Partial demolition of the rear of the building to accommodate a new extension
  • Addition of a new living area, bedroom, bathroom and kitchen
  • Construction of a new garage to provide convenient parking
  • Creation of a central cloister as a key architectural feature
  • Modernisation of the interior while respecting the building's heritage
  • Seamless integration of the new extension with the original structure
