The project
Minett Studio Architecture & Design provided the architecture, interiors and landscape design for Elwood Sanctuary House, a 201 m2 renovation in Elwood, Melbourne, completed in 2023 for about A$960,000.
The project marries heritage charm with modern design. A high vaulted ceiling and large windows fill the new open living and dining space with light and frame a Mediterranean-inspired garden, and white-painted brick with black arched windows and doors gives the exterior a classic but contemporary look.
