Bates St, Malvern East

Architect: Schulberg Demkiw Architects

Frank brought perfectionism to the renovation of this landmark five-bedroom, four-bathroom Victorian property. The client’s desire was for balance between period grandeur and contemporary styling in a home expressly for modern living.

The stately heritage residence features refined formal sitting, dining and music rooms, each with views over a landscaped northerly terrace. The period character carries through to the huge home office and separate children’s study, which doubles as a surround-sound home theatre. The imposing marble-lined bathrooms invoke the aura of Roman baths.

The renovations include contemporary, family-focused dining and living areas, and an open-plan kitchen, with a Calcutta-marble island bench and generous scullery area. These spaces open to an expansive terrace and patio area, which leads to a solar-heated swimming pool in the landscaped garden.
