The design concept is rooted in respect and understanding of the natural environment. Vegetation is cleverly used in the courtyard, and the landscape changes with the passage of time, offering various levels of diversity. The garden centers around “trees,” creating a natural oxygen bar and creating an approachable reception area under the trees.

Isabelle and Fernando were looking for a home that met their family routine needs and was close to their daughter's school, in the Vila Madalena neighborhood. They found a house built in the 1940s, largely preserved with its original configuration, located on a 300m² lot, featuring a two-story main house and a two-story annex.

Hawthorn East is home to many beautiful examples of Victorian era cottages and terraces. The typology proliferates the suburb and manifests a delightful and nostalgic neighbourhood character. However beautiful they are from the street, many of these houses are no longer suited to the lifestyles and living situations of modern Australians.
