In this episode of Archinest, we explore the transformation of a classic Victorian terrace house in Carlton, Australia, designed by 4site Architecture. This single-fronted double brick home, once dark and cramped, has been revitalized into a light-filled, modern family residence.

Facing challenges such as limited space and poor natural light, the architects cleverly retained the original front bedrooms and added a double-story extension to include a new bathroom, laundry, living area, kitchen, dining space, and an additional bedroom with an en suite. The design cleverly incorporates a centralized service core, optimizing space and functionality while maintaining a seamless flow between the open-plan living areas and the outdoor space.

Key features of this renovation include a strategic light court for enhanced natural light and ventilation, a north-facing living room extension that captures sunlight, and a secluded roof deck providing private outdoor space. The master bedroom and study area have been designed to balance natural light with privacy.

Join us as we delve into the details of this impressive renovation, showcasing how thoughtful design solutions can turn a historic property into a modern, comfortable home. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated with our latest architectural reviews!
