Currawong House

Currawong House is a new extension and heritage renovation to a single fronted Victorian terrace in Brunswick. The new home in Brunswick will have 3-bedrooms plus study and boasts a strong eclectic retro prairie fusion style, coupled with the calm zen-like spaces as the ultimate city-side haven, designed for a poet and barrister, and their 2 children. This home represents the epitome of modern functionalism enmeshed with fun. while it’s a modern addition with a strong emphasis on environmental sustainability. The true restoration of the Victorian facade with the Hawthorn bricks ensures it maintains harmony in its interaction with the street and its neighbours . The site is less than 250sqm, leaving little space to waste. The combined ground and first floors are 200 sqm, so the Wexhaus team had to flex some muscle when it came to optimising zones, traffic spaces, and multi-functional areas.
