Elwood Residence in Australia by b.e architecture

Saturday, August 13th, 2022

Our Ruskin Street Residence was designed for one of the now adult children of one of our earliest residential commissions over twenty-five years ago.

While smaller than our usual projects it is a very special outcome that is very representative of the sentiments behind many of our projects.

The front six rooms of the Edwardian heritage listed terrace was retained and extensively renovated to a new house standard. Rooms were reorganised to accommodate three bedrooms with bathrooms and robes, the existing details modified to accolade the new layouts as if they had always been there.

A carefully crafted renovation of a much-treasured Californian Bungalow, the Elwood House focuses on enhancing the original character of the structure and enriching the experiences in the house. Drawing on the owner’s diverse range of personal objects, interests, places of travel, this home is rich in both narrative and texture.

Elwood House in Australia by STAR Architecture

Thursday, January 25th, 2018

Article source: STAR Architecture

Elwood House of Heaton Avenue sits within a tree-lined streetscape that comprises a mix of contemporary and heritage buildings within a council heritage overlay – predominantly Californian bungalows with red brick façades and terracotta tiled roofs, set back from the street with formal gardens and timber fences. Prior to renovation, Elwood House was a tired, 100-year-old example of these in poor condition but with bones intact. The client, who valued the history and style of the building wanted to invest in its retention and restoration. Details such as tuckpointing of façade brickwork, new cobbled bluestone driveway, reinstated timber fence and formal geometric front garden designed by Lachie Anderson Landscapes has strengthened the heritage fabric of the street. Internally, the restoration of leadlight windows, timber hardwood floors, ornamental skirtings, elaborate architraves and high ceilings with decorative plasterwork repainted with traditional heritage colours brings the building back to life and restores its formal grandeur.
