DATE June 2021
LOCATION West Melbourne
West Block
Originating from two separate, neighbouring terrace homes dating back to 1865, and now, merged as one, West Block, is a perennial, light-filled home. Inspired by the clients love and patronage of the arts, West Block sought to fuse a lyricism of historical romance and complexities, with a contemporary vernacular that was more avant-garde. Due to its original state of two separate, narrow residences, the project intervened with its labyrinth-like layout and consolidated and streamlined the ergonomics of the space, whilst still maintaining intimacies throughout the plan.
Residential interior design is a complex tapestry of intervention, restoration, renewal and innovation. It’s important that the project honour the clients’ personal sanctuary, with their lived-in experiences and mementos. West Block strove to honour those relationship, their histories, and personalities by creating an individualized space of nourishment and vitality.
