Located on the traditional lands of the Kulin people, this Fitzroy North home is nestled within a typical inner-north suburban street. Thoughtfully integrated landscaping ensures privacy to the front yard while concealing an urban oasis at the rear.

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.
