This project was a rear and upstairs extension to a double fronted Victorian terrace house located in Hawthorn East, Melbourne, Australia. The brief was to retain the character of the period home at the front of the house and design a spacious, light-filled modern extension to the rear.
Henry House is a 140-year-old Victorian terrace house that has been refurbished and extended with a contemporary rear ground level extension. This Victorian is one of a pair of double-storey, single-fronted terraces that was originally built in 1878, and is part of the rich history of buildings that line this street in East Melbourne.
