Robertson Street

Kensington

​

The most successful additions to period homes celebrate the relationship between heritage and contemporary architecture rather than attempting to blur the distinction between them. Robertson Street was designed with this philosophy at its heart, transforming a modest Victorian cottage into a spacious family home through the addition of a contemporary extension and upper-level parents' retreat.

 

Created for a young family of five, the renovation sought to provide generous living spaces that support the changing rhythms of family life while preserving the charm and character of the original home. The contemporary addition opens effortlessly to the rear garden, filling the home with natural light and creating strong connections between indoor and outdoor living. Above, a private parents' retreat captures sweeping views across the Melbourne skyline, providing a peaceful sanctuary away from the activity of family life below.

 

A polished concrete floor anchors the extension, introducing durability, simplicity and understated elegance, while crisp white finishes and clean architectural detailing reinforce the home's calm, minimalist character.
