The project

Carter Williamson Architects worked with these clients for the third time, from purchase through to construction. The grand Victorian terrace had been used as a bed and breakfast, with temporary walls dividing it into small rooms.

The architects reorganised and restored the house as a modern home for a family of four, celebrating its historic details while adding space and storage for two young children. Curved, fluted timber joinery, terrazzo floors and soft pink and green tiles give the new rooms their character. It was completed in 2020.
