Located in the residential suburb of Ascot Vale in Melbourne, Australia, this family home was completed in 2016. A contemporary take on a traditional Victorian home, it adopts the roof form and materials of neighbouring properties to complement the local area.
The property is divided over three levels in response to a sloping site. A central courtyard provides natural light, variation and amenity within an otherwise linear space.
