Auburn Road House by Solomon Troup Architects
Auburn Road House is a modest, thoughtful intervention to an existing grand Edwardian home by Solomon Troup Architects located in Hawthorn, Australia.
About Auburn Road House
Breathing New Life into a Classic Edwardian Dwelling
The original dwelling felt insular and lacked connection to its scenic surroundings. Our goal? Enhance livability while preserving Edwardian details.
Celebrating Natural Views: Windows as Gateways
We installed a vast west-facing window. It offers uninterrupted views from the lounge, dining, and kitchen to the pool and landscape. Adjacent to this window, a daybed offers a snug spot, basking in the afternoon sun. It’s now the favored spot during gatherings.
Blurring Boundaries: Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Transition
Large sliding doors to the east merge the main living spaces with the primary outdoor entertainment zone.
Nature’s Artwork: Framing the Crepe Myrtle
Another west-facing window in the living area beautifully showcases a mature crepe myrtle tree. Blooming in spring, this tree also shades against the intense western sun.
Master Bedroom: The Luxurious Transformation
We revamped the master suite, introducing a spacious walk-in robe, makeup station, and ensuite bathroom. The blend of natural stone and walnut timber veneer exudes a timeless, elegant warmth.
Conclusion: A Revitalized Family Haven
Despite their modest scale, these interventions transformed Auburn Road House into an elegant, functional family residence.
