House Northroy / True Story + Lloyd Hartley Architects

Hana Abdel — Wed, 18 Sep 2024 20:00:00 +0000

Located on a prominent, yet coveted, corner block in the inner Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy North, this was a rare opportunity to elevate an archetypal Victorian terrace to something statuesque yet precisely site-specific. Acknowledging the adjacent buildings at the rear and the original structure retained at the front, the lower level of the new addition is constructed of traditional red brick.

Merri Creek / Alexandra Buchanan Architecture

Hana Abdel — Mon, 19 Jun 2023 16:00:00 +0000

The Merri Creek House is a renovation and extension project to an existing heritage weatherboard cottage in the suburb of North Fitzroy. The project re-imagines the typical house with backyard typology and is designed around a series of landscaped courtyard gardens.

Fitzroy North House 02 / Rob Kennon Architects

Valeria Silva — Sun, 01 Aug 2021 15:00:00 +0000

This project is a contemporary response in a heritage context that learns from the vernacular. It puts forward an atypical site response that provides an experience of freedom and openness that is not often experienced in tight inner-city sites. In a quiet heritage street in Fitzroy North, this new family home presents to the public as an abstract silhouette of a double fronted workers cottage.

Perfect-Imperfect House / Megowan Architectural

Valeria Silva — Mon, 11 May 2020 20:00:00 +0000

The Perfect-Imperfect House, aptly named by the clients, is the final result of a two-decade-long dream of two perfectionist north siders. In contrast to a more maladaptive form of perfectionism, clients Aaron and Lily Hill, both nurses, possess friendly but keen attention for detail and desire for quality that would only be immensely reassuring if you found yourself under their diligent care.

Fitzroy North House / MMAD Architecture

María Francisca González — Thu, 05 Sep 2019 23:00:00 +0000

The initial design challenge was convincing council that the design would have very little impact on the streetscape in particular the inclusion of a roof deck directly behind the heritage parapet. Council was reluctant to allow any change to the roofline to the original front two rooms of the house. After some time preparing 3D models and negotiating with council they thankfully came on board with the idea and the proof is that people walking past are none the wiser to there being any change to the original house.

Casa de Gatos / WOWOWA Architects

Pilar Caballero — Fri, 26 Apr 2019 01:00:00 +0000

Casa de Gatos translates to house of cats in Spanish. A Mexican themed space for a travel loving couple with four fur babies; two dogs and two cats. Located on a tiny double fronted block in North Fitzroy this tricky renovation to a DIY 70’s modernist renovation of a Victorian worker’s cottage was a visual language fiesta.

Glorified in architecture forever, the humble tiger prawn becomes a two-pronged deity for this Fitzroy North, Melbourne renovation.

Grant House / Austin Maynard Architects

Andreas Luco — Wed, 03 Apr 2019 17:00:00 +0000

Grant House is the alteration and addition to a dark and narrow single-storey terrace in North Fitzroy. The old part of the house has been respectfully maintained and updated and a new extension has been sleeved between original boundary walls. The new extension comprises kitchen/living/dining (and secret cellar), with parent’s retreat upstairs. Utilising the side laneway, the main entry is now in the centre of the house. A large and imposing galvanised steel door opens onto a light-flooded courtyard that separates the old house from the new addition.

Cristobal Rojas — Thu, 18 May 2017 19:00:00 +0000

Cristobal Rojas — Sun, 22 May 2016 20:00:00 +0000

House in House / Steffen Welsch Architects

Cristian Aguilar — Tue, 19 May 2015 18:00:42 +0000

House in House is an exploration of site boundary as limiter, as frame to both internal and external spaces, form and void. House in House is a new build in a streetscape with significant heritage value. Our idea was that the home be an ‘uneasy fit’ within the street, creating a dialogue, an ongoing easy tension, with its predominantly federation style neighbours.

Engawa House / BLOXAS

Cristian Aguilar — Sun, 23 Feb 2014 08:00:00 +0000

Melbourne’s inner-north has a distinct European feel of community living. Small houses compel people towards local parks and curbside gardens, blurring the threshold between public and private. The Engawa House in North Fitzroy, embraces this atmosphere, as the dynamic and historical patchwork of the surrounding context becomes part of each living space.
