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.

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.
