In Melbourne’s vibrant inner suburb of Richmond, this newly designed family home reinterprets the classic Victorian terrace house with a fresh, contemporary approach. The single-storey residence, nestled between two neighbouring homes, maintains the cozy charm of a Victorian terrace while infusing contemporary elements to make it a bright, spacious, and practical family home. The design celebrates openness with gabled ceilings that stretch across the structure, bringing a heightened sense of spaciousness. High ceilings and carefully placed skylights invite natural light to flood every corner—a refreshing transformation for a site traditionally limited in space and brightness. The effect is a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels remarkably expansive despite the home’s compact footprint.
