The clients’ ten-year-old son had outgrown his former room, and the entire attic floor, spanning 95 square meters, was allocated for him. The space was generous, yet the low, straight ceilings created a sense of confinement. Designer Oxana Mazurina proposed dismantling the walls and the gypsum board ceiling, unveiling an unexpected expanse.

Eddie is a terrace renovation, built on a small 140sqm site in Melbourne’s Fitzroy North. Our brief asked for an improved three-bedroom, one bathroom home. As is common with old terraces, they sought more natural light, better airflow, and privacy. They also wished for a garden; a green oasis that would provide peace.
