Architects: Studio Four Photography by Shannon McGrath via Est Magazine
Come with us on a tour of an updated Victorian house in Melbourne, saved by firm Studio Four from an unfortunate 80's remodel-gone-wrong. By restructuring the internal flow and adding a new kitchen, Studio Four created a space that radiates light--and good cheer .
The island extends into a dining table.
The seamless counter run has beveled-edge cabinet openings.
The kitchen is open to the living room, but raised on an oak plinth to maintain a sense of separation.
Built-in shelves frame a wall in the living room.
A slatted wooden chimney wall rises above a black steel hearth.
The living room overlooks an internal courtyard that provides an apparent extension of the space.
Original Victorian detailing has been preserved.
The main bedroom features a platform bed.
The bedspread serves as the sole pop of color in the otherwise serene space.
The clean-lined main bathroom overlooks the courtyard.
A crisp palette imbues the house with light.
