Netherlands and Australia are separated by more than 15 thousand kilometers, but this did not stop designers from creating a Flemish-style house in Melbourne, but with a modern aesthetic. The interiors with dark accents remind of the Edwardian and Dutch Renaissance, and the rear extension recreates the Dutch facade of the house. In addition to…
This Victorian home in Melbourne had several additions twenty years ago, and the current owners wanted to bring a single style to the interiors, getting rid of outdated solutions. First, the designer rethought the space, dividing it into a parent area, a children’s area and a social space for everyone. It was also important to…

This magnificent Victorian brick house with openwork trellises and stained-glass windows is located in the Armadale area of Melbourne. The owners left the original facade of the historic building intact, but add a more modern annex to it. The same happened with this house.
