This is a minimalist home located in Melbourne, Australia. Its character is set among ancient eucalypts, making it attractive to those seeking an affordable, modern Australian home. However, years of neglect and relentless alterations had obscured its original charm. The renovation aimed to restore the house’s inherent character. Central to this was the restoration of key architectural elements: Oregon beams now span the width of the house, full-height cedar windows have been refurbished and updated with double glazing, and insulation has been added to the walls. The use of spotted gum in the joinery is a highlight, showcasing craftsmanship while respecting the original spirit of the house.

The design team took a minimalist approach to the material palette, emphasising the original character of the house. Native timbers were used in joinery, windows and flooring to harmonise with the natural surroundings. The warm, muted tones of lime washes complement the changing colours of the surrounding eucalyptus trees, and new joinery featuring spotted eucalyptus blends seamlessly into the space, complementing the simple furnishings. Spatially, the house has been reorganised to improve liveability.
