An Edwardian home in the heart of the suburbs of a major Australian city hides an ultra-chic remodel designed by the owner of the famous architect.
While the façade stays true to its roots in the early 1900s, the modern rear extension blends the old with the new, giving the home a fresh, contemporary feel.
Located in Northcote, just 20 minutes north of Melbourne city centre, the stylish apartment was renovated in 2020 by Margo Studio, director of architecture and design, and owner Amy Carroll.
Constructed from raw materials such as recycled brick, wood, brass and terracotta, the bespoke extension accommodates the property’s main living area, which includes the kitchen, living room, dining room, family area, workspace and outdoor patio.

The open kitchen flows into the family room and includes a butler’s pantry, curved stone countertop with breakfast counter, speckled rubber cabinets, green tiled back wall and luxury brass hardware.
The large dining room, covered with wooden structures and with a high sloping ceiling, opens to the pergola deck and garden with large sliding doors.
The split-level add-on also features a separate walk-in living room with exposed brick walls, a cozy fireplace, a private home office, and window seat to a cafe.
Ms Carroll said: immobiliare.com.aulo’s main living area was “strategically designed” to be included in the backyard with an outdoor fireplace and filled with lush native vegetation.

The master bedroom’s open-plan private bathroom is a terracotta-tiled spa-like sanctuary, complete with a deep red double sink, luxury freestanding tub, and corrugated glass wall.
“The dining room can be fully open, made into an airy pavilion, and the brick wall in the living room doubles as a seat for the outdoor fireplace,” she said.
“On cold evenings, we like to sit around the barbecue or break records in the cozy sunken shelter.”
Period details such as high ceilings, original ornate fireplaces and wooden floors continue with the huge master suite on the front of the house.
The Art Nouveau fireplace in the master bedroom adds a touch of glamor and the stained glass window lets sunlight fill the expansive harbor.
