Miwa Negoro — Tue, 26 Aug 2025 02:00:00 +0000

This new limited series of 18 apartments, designed by award-winning architects Edition Office and one of Australia's longest-standing design-focused development groups, Neometro, is set in the leafy streets of Fitzroy, Melbourne. The project, at 450 Gore Street, sits quietly between three of Fitzroy's liveliest thoroughfares: Gertrude, Smith, and Brunswick streets.

Fitzroy Laneway House / Andrew Child Architect

Pilar Caballero — Sun, 28 Jan 2024 02:00:00 +0000

The project involved alterations + additions to a derelict semi-attached double-storey Victorian terrace in Fitzroy. The finished residence was to provide relaxed, robust, and generous accommodation for a family of two adults and a teenager and to enable a number of future living and/or working scenarios.

Helvetia House / Austin Maynard Architects

Paula Pintos — Fri, 06 Oct 2023 06:00:00 +0000

Helvetia is the alteration and renovation of a double-storey Victorian terrace in Fitzroy, Melbourne. The home had been separated in the 1960s to operate as a boarding house and reconfigured again in the 1980s into two apartments. Muddled, confused, dark, and in a sad state of disrepair, the challenge was to resurrect Helvetia.

Sunday Home / Architecture Architecture

Hana Abdel — Wed, 16 Aug 2023 01:00:00 +0000

Sunday is a home for physical and psychological well-being, providing a diversity of spaces where occupants can always find a place of comfort: social spaces and private spaces; generous spaces and intimate spaces; spaces to gather, and spaces to retreat.

Terracotta House / Austin Maynard Architects

Hana Abdel — Sat, 09 Jul 2022 16:00:00 +0000

Living in bustling, vibrant, bohemian Fitzroy, our client asked us to help her with a tree-change, without changing postcode. Her priority was to have a big veggie garden and a farm house, while remaining in the city. With our help, she found an inner suburban cottage with a huge backyard in a community-spirited enclave. We built a new home for her at the rear of the block and renovated the original house at the front for her son’s family to live in. Between the two cottages there is a large productive garden and a communal pavilion. With the subtle mix of shared and private spaces, this is a multi-generational home like no other.

Positioned on a peaceful street in the heart of Fitzroy, 231 Napier Street forms eleven exclusive apartments designed by the award-winning Melbourne architecture practice, Edition Office. Surrounded by culture and commerce, this quiet pocket is an understandably coveted spot, bordered by Gertrude, Smith, and Brunswick Streets just north of the city.

Earl Street House / Bloxas

Paula Pintos — Mon, 03 May 2021 02:00:00 +0000

Hot desking, mobile configurations, and virtual offices are all commercial strategies intended to break down our understanding of space. These strategies begin to pose questions about permanency and rigidity within residential architecture. How do we define space, label it, stereotype it, and become accustomed to it through past experiences? What outcomes occur if we remove these labels and allow for more dynamic and transformative delivery of habitation.

Fitzroy Terrace House / Taylor Knights

Pilar Caballero — Sun, 22 Sep 2019 19:00:00 +0000

Fitzroy Terrace is an intricate re-working of a previously run-down double-storey terrace in the gritty, northern fringes of Fitzroy. The design itself represents a real ‘obscuring’ between the old and the new through the deliberate play of thresholds and vertical journeys through the internal spaces. This in turn responds to a restrictive site, the solution for which is perhaps best captured in section.

Fitzroy Lane House / Kennedy Nolan Architects

María Francisca González — Fri, 16 Aug 2019 18:00:00 +0000

A house in an unforgiving laneway context has been imagined as a robust, simplified form- a container for family life principally concerned with providing refuge. The tight vertical space is ameliorated through a memorable threshold and ascent rising to the principle living areas and opening to a startling city prospect.

Transformer Fitzroy / Breathe Architecture

Daniel Tapia — Wed, 17 Jul 2019 18:00:00 +0000

The site, vacant for many years, was formerly an electrical transformer factory. The existing building had layers of character from its past, including a small courtyard tucked behind the warehouse covered in ivy, which became key to the design concept – to extend the experience of the garden inside. This concept interlinked perfectly with the owner’s intention to deliver an experience which was experimental yet simple.

Collective Dwelling C.F.Row / Woods Bagot

Andreas Luco — Wed, 27 Mar 2019 17:00:00 +0000

C.F.Row at 237 Napier Street sits within the rich urban fabric of Melbourne's oldest inner city suburb of Fitzroy, a bricolage of building types and scale, a collective body of dwellings marked by the patina of time. The site was the home of a premier furniture maker in the postwar years, which visitors and residents can see in the exterior, which uses the original brick façade of the former building.

Bentwood / RITZ&GHOUGASSIAN

Rayen Sagredo — Tue, 30 Oct 2018 17:00:00 +0000

The project pays homage to the sites historic archetype as a furniture workshop under the name of CF Rojo & Sons and later as the Thonet furniture showroom.The project’s design and materiality was informed by the existing facade and the surrounding environment.

Moor / Whiting Architects

Rayen Sagredo — Thu, 02 Aug 2018 19:00:00 +0000

This narrow, one-bedroom terrace in the heart of Fitzroy, Melbourne sits on a compact 79m2 site. The original cottage was dark, cold and cramped with a raking ladder in the middle of the already small living space accessing its single, mezzanine bedroom. The brief was to create a functional two-bedroom home on a modest budget. Spatial constraints, light and views drove the design response.

Argyle Street Apartments / Pandolfini Architects

Pilar Caballero — Sat, 07 Apr 2018 20:00:00 +0000

Located in the Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy, this restoration and addition to a 150-year-old building showcases the rich history of the area and demonstrates how prioritising natural light over floor area can make the most of tight, inner-city sites. The project involves the careful restoration of a heritage listed building and a new two-storey addition to provide for two unique apartments.

Fitzroy Loft / Albert Mo Architects

Valentina Villa — Wed, 08 Feb 2017 21:00:00 +0000

Fitzroy Loft is located inside the 125 years old MacRobertson Chocolate Factory in Fitzroy, adapted for mostly residential use in the early 90s. With original concrete floor and sawtooth roof structure, the space that our project occupies is a strata title on the first floor, with its own entry door at street level.

Fitzroy House / Julie Firkin Architects

Florencia Mena — Sun, 21 Aug 2016 19:00:00 +0000

Within this Victorian era terrace house, a sequence of airy, cascading spaces responds to the natural fall of the site.

Alfred House / Austin Maynard Architects

Cristobal Rojas — Mon, 27 Jun 2016 17:00:00 +0000

Alfred House is the addition and reconfiguration of an existing two storey, two bedroom terrace, with a tired lean-to that had little relationship with the exterior space. The client wanted us to replicate one of our previous projects, Vader House, as they liked the idea of a centralised courtyard. We were able to push the concept further due to the property’s connection with the laneway.
