This Albert Park house by Wellard Architects, with a wonderfully lush outdoor area by Eckersley Garden Architecture is on the market.
Wellard Architects has recently added a brilliant two storey addition to this Victorian home, cleverly overcoming the typical challenges many Victorian houses face, by introducing a double-height void permeating the communal spaces. This structural change has allowed for more space, northern light, and natural ventilation throughout the home, defying its relatively small footprint. A timber bridge links the first-floor volumes, providing a playfully practical means of connection across the void.
The home’s interiors are simple yet hard-working, showing restraint and an appreciation for simple materials, including warm timbers and black kitchen cabinetry. ‘Utilising beautiful materials and detailing them honestly is always rewarding, particularly when using such as select few materials as we have done with this project,’ says principal architect at Wellard Architects, Huw Wellard.
This property has the added inner-city benefit of possessing a small but established garden. Existing palm trees in the backyard were preserved during the renovation, with the addition of new low-maintenance elements. This outdoor area is directly accessible and in full view of the living space via full-height sliding glass doors. An additional outdoor barbecue area and deck are off the second storey.
Wellard Architects have achieved a wonderfully resolved modern family home that will only get better with time. We’ll be incredibly jealous of whoever snaps this one up… !

Wellard Architects | Albert Park House维多利亚双层建筑
一家位于澳大利亚墨尔本的Wellard Architects工作室，精心设计了一座维多利亚式的单面建筑，该房屋位于墨尔本Yarra River南岸的Albert Park，与Fawkner Park隔街相望。
Wellard Architects, based in Melbourne, Australia, has designed a Victorian bachelor flat across the street from Fawkner Park in Albert Park, on the south bank of the Yarra River.
Wellard Architects在这栋维多利亚式房屋中增加了两层楼高的建筑，巧妙地克服了许多维多利亚式房屋面临的典型挑战，通过在公共空间中引入双倍高度的空隙。这种结构上的变化为整个房屋提供了更多空间，北极光和自然通风，克服了其相对较小的占地面积。木桥连接一楼，为整个空隙提供了一种有趣而实用的连接方式。

该房屋的内部设计简单而又耐久，表现出克制和对简单材料的欣赏，包括温暖的木材和黑色的厨房橱柜。Wellard Architects的首席建筑师Huw Wellard说:“使用精美的材料并诚实地对它们进行详细描述总是有好处的，尤其是当我们使用罕见的材料时。”

这座建筑拥有一个虽小却已建成的花园，还为城市带来了额外的好处。翻新期间保留了后院现有的棕榈树，并增加了新的低维护元素。可通过全高滑动玻璃门直接进入室外区域，并享有居住空间的全景。
