Life Down A Lane, a house in Melbourne’s Richmond neighbourhood designed by Tom Robertson Architects, features a central courtyard. The contemporary family home is surrounded by neighbours, necessitating a design that balances privacy with openness. The living spaces are elevated for increased sunlight, while the interiors contrast monochromatic exteriors with light tones.

Robust external forms open to the courtyard, providing a focal point and ensuring security. Central spaces include a sculpted marble island in the kitchen and a dramatic full-height window for exterior views.
