Evergreen
A heritage home transformed into a sanctuary of space, light & flow.
Located on a leafy Malvern street, this 1930s residence originally designed by architect Marcus Martin required a comprehensive refresh for a couple in a new phase of their life.
The brief was to create a home of warmth and comfort, reimagining an underused section of the home and creating greater connection with the outdoors.
By flipping the core dining and living spaces completely, everyday dining now looks out through expansive sunny windows to the garden and pool beyond, while a generous and inviting sofa grouping centres around a warming fireplace.
A more dramatic spatial intervention saw an awkward, underused wing of the ground floor transformed into two spaces, introducing the clients to brand new opportunities to enjoy their home. The ‘Winter’ dining and wine room now entertains close family and friends, while beyond a set of custom joinery and doors, the Snug envelopes one in voluminous Bambole furniture for quiet reading and viewing.
Gentle yet transformative updates included a custom brass sink in the kitchen to bring daily joy to the dishes, fresh paint and new timber floors, creating visual flow and consistency throughout.
Now reunited with a quarter of their home, this residence retains its architectural integrity while catering to our clients’ patterns of living; they are now set for years to come.
