Glass House, Richmond

An exciting makeover to a quaint heritage workers cottage in Richmond, originally built in the 1890s. Our project strips away the dated 1960s & 1990s extensions, returning the home to its original charm while adding a sleek upper level with three bedrooms, a study, two bathrooms, and a powder room.

‍

Central to the design is a modern open plan living area boasting a soaring 6 meter, double-height ceiling and a cozy fireplace, perfect for entertaining and relaxing. While the front maintains its historic allure, the rear extension flaunts a contemporary look, with expansive glazing, offering stunning views towards Melbourne's CBD.
