The circa 2014 redesign of this classic Victorian terrace by Steele Olney of Studio Dot treats the home's original fabric as a framework threading crisp contemporary forms throughout to create something both grounded and quietly bold.
From the street, the heritage façade holds its line. Step inside and the plan begins to loosen, unfolding gradually toward a deeply private, north-facing courtyard. Spaces widen, light strengthens, and the home opens up, culminating in an outdoor zone that feels more like a hidden urban room than a yard. Everyday living, dining and kitchen, third bedroom and a second bathroom sit on the ground level, while upstairs the original two bedrooms and main bathroom retain a more traditional rhythm. White walls and Caesarstone surfaces create clarity, offset by warm timber floors, a restored staircase, bespoke joinery and sculptural Marc Newson tapware. Low-energy lighting, underfloor heating and timber ceiling fans all work quietly in the background, supporting comfort and efficiency
