A home located in a prominent heritage pocket of Elsternwick gets new life, with liveability through open-plan living and a strong connection to the outdoors central to the design brief.

Designed by multi-award-winning architectural and interior design studio, Sketch, this newly renovated home is a strong reflection of the owners heritage. Drawing inspiration from their English roots, the client's decision to add the rear extension is a somewhat contemporary interpretation of an English farmhouse which came to life through materiality, form and atmosphere.
