Gorgeous Residence Combining Historic and Modern Features
Keeping history alive while implementing modern architecture looks pretty easy once we take a look at this next residence. The historical facade was kept intact but the interiors were designed to be a perfect fit in the urban scenery. Built in Melbourne, on a lot that used to be the Richmond Fire Station Stables, the modern dwelling you can see in the pictures is proof that past and future can look good together. The three bedroom house, for sale here, showcases an angular design partly hidden by a stone facade kept intact. An open plan kitchen combined with the dining and living room were constructed on the original part of the building. Beautiful stone walls merge with modern furniture to create an outstanding interior design. Windows, sliding doors and skylights were carefully placed to ensure natural light in all rooms of the house. A rooftop deck offers beautiful panoramas of the city with its 360 degree view. Other features include a two car garage, cellar, gym, second living and study room.

The kitchen is very small – today architects thinks, there in nobody cooking at home anymore. So the space inside the kitchen is situating for maximum of one person at same time. We designed a small bar next to the kitchen for express eating. For occasional eating there is a sideboard with drop desk for 4 person in the living room. Beside this sideboard there is only a few pieces of furniture in living room – big red sofa with coffee table, and audio-video box with TV. The bedroom is small, with only a double-bed, build-in closet and commode – all in simple black and white style. The bathroom is all white – also in minimalist style, but it was already done, so there is no visualizations of it. Inside of we tried to leave a maximum of free space so we used only necessary number of interior elements – desired final price of realization was also the limiting factor. But the result is clear and airy and client really liked it.”
