By DX Architects
DX Architects recently completed the major residential alterations & additions to a double fronted heritage Victorian dwelling in Richmond. The residential architectural design retains and enhances the existing double fronted heritage Victorian dwelling and adds a contemporary double-story rear addition.
This alterations & additions project featured a bold double-height brick side wall on the boundary which created a clear visual separation between the existing heritage dwelling and the new contemporary addition added. We also incorporated an innovative window & skylight all in one to maximise a view and capture sunlight into a first-floor rumpus room.
The interior was completed with white painted walls, a feature exposed brick fireplace, and was complemented with European oak timber flooring. The double glazed aluminium framed windows & doors were carefully detailed with a setdown threshold detail so that the interior seamlessly flowed to the outdoor entertaining spaces
Feature pendant and wall lights were carefully positioned to define the various functions of the flexible open plan living room.

At DX Architects, we design responsive architecture to elevate your life and deliver a home for the way you live. Established in 2007 by its principal architect and director, Daniel Xuereb, we have maintained a boutique scale to our practice which allows you to engage and collaborate closely with our specialised team to ensure that every design detail is resolved collaboratively and efficiently.
With a track record of delivering inner-city residential builds, we are always pushing the design limits that narrow sites typically pose and envisioning a design that responds to the site’s inherent contextual complexity.
We actively challenge constraints, whilst balancing the historical contextual characteristics of your site and its future use.
Your dream project will be created through our tailored design process in partnership with our team of experienced designers and delivered to the highest standard through our established network of consultants, and quality builders.
At our core, we value quality, adaptability, positivity, and creativity, and strive to implement these throughout everything we do.
