The project
Elaine Richardson Architect renovated this two-storey inner-city terrace for a young family who saw it as their long-term home. Their decisions were driven by quality, choosing low-maintenance materials and products made to last.
The 135 square metre house pairs restored period rooms with a bright new kitchen and living space, timber-lined window seats and a brick rear extension opening to the courtyard. It was completed in 2018.
