Williamstown Rd (Port Melbourne)

One of the original period homes in Port Melbourne, this project involved working within a heritage overlay zone with a shared wall.

Our client wanted to upgrade this small, original house with an extension/renovation so it would suit their family needs and allow an open plan living style with plenty of built in storage.

With such a narrow property and significant alterations to the existing structures, it was important to ensure the new design allowed for separate living zones and utilised light strategically.
