Architect Melanie Beynon’s Prahran home evolved to meet her family’s changing needs. Initially a two-person household, it now serves a family of four, necessitating extensions and renovations over time.
The transformation began in 2009 with a bathroom and laundry renovation, followed by changes to improve the kitchen/dining/living spaces while retaining the original 90s extension. A new glass hallway connects the house to the new sitting room and compact courtyard, creating versatile living spaces.
Materiality was essential, wanting texture and a minimalist interior. Melanie’s design choices emphasized simplicity, with second bricks finished in micro-cement. The result is a cohesive, future-proofed home she never plans to leave.
