Heritage Renovation, Prahran

This exceptional c1920s solid brick residence underwent an extensive transformation, combining the elegance of its period origins with a sophisticated contemporary addition designed in 2017 by Eliza Blair Architects. The project focused on preserving the home’s rich heritage character while creating expansive spaces tailored to modern family living.

Original details, including decorative ceilings and traditional proportions, were carefully restored and complemented by a refined palette of bespoke finishes throughout. At the heart of the home, dramatic raked ceilings and north-facing clerestory glazing bring natural light into the generous living and dining areas, seamlessly connecting the interiors to beautifully landscaped outdoor spaces.

Premium materials and meticulous craftsmanship define every aspect of the build, from the marble-appointed kitchen and custom joinery to the bluestone paving and carefully curated garden setting. Incorporating hydronic heating, advanced home comforts and thoughtful detailing throughout, the result is a timeless residence that balances heritage charm with contemporary luxury in one of Armadale’s most sought-after locations.
