Krause Emperor bricks from Robertson's Building Products Pty Ltd were used on the exterior of a Victorian era terrace home in Fitzroy, creating an effect “reminiscent of an aged woven tapestry”. The brief for the Gallery House project sought to downsize an existing Victorian era terrace home to suit the requirements of the client. While the house was transformed into a smaller space, clever design and spatial thinking provided sufficient space to accommodate a lifetime’s collection of art, vintage cars and books, enabling every moment in the house to be filled with memories of their most treasured possessions. Designed by Inarc Architects, the well-considered alterations and additions including a new kitchen, dining area and studio, give the terrace home a fresh lease of life. Embracing a contemporary style of working and living, Gallery House is large enough for day-to-day activities, and also accommodates visits by the extended family.
