Designed in collaboration with POP Architecture, a Melbourne two-storey terrace house set in a dense inner-city suburb, required careful planning to bring brightness and spaciousness in the home. Thoughtfully located window boxes, skylights and internal glazing help to optimise space within the limited footprint, while also capturing glimpses of rooftops and maintaining privacy for the residents.

The simple detailing of linear, clean and visually unfussy design elements, alongside the restrained palette, help give the small spaces a feeling of expansiveness and the interior’s simple, monochromatic palette acts as a backdrop for the residents to overlay their personality and treasures.

The result is a calm, revitalised terrace house ready for decades more inner-city life.

About the
Professional

We are a Melbourne-based interior design studio. We design authentic, contemporary interior spaces that respond to place, function, light and form. We are inquisitive, understated and considered in our design approach. We remain a consciously boutique interior design practice that values personal involvement and oversight of all projects.

We love to know, interpret and understand our Clients’ living and working patterns. We use the power of design to solve problems and through our design approach, find better ways to live, work and connect. We carefully think through the way people really like to live, behind closed doors; and how to work optimally in retail, hospitality and other commercial spaces.

We are rigorous and pay great attention to every detail of the spaces being created – the natural materials selected, the custom detailing, the relationship to light and the needs of people who will inhabit the spaces. We value beauty and longevity.

We love custom features, carefully curated natural materials and inspired furniture, art and objects. We believe aesthetics and functionality should work hand in hand. We are detail driven and value well executed solutions to create a cohesive space.

We bring to each project more than 25 years’ experience across materials, furniture, art and interior possibilities as well as space planning, construction knowledge and design thinking expertise. We are collaborative. We draw upon a vast network of local contacts to build and craft our interiors and bring our projects to life.

The product design arm of BEATRIX ROWE is a natural extension of the studio’s work and values. We design and produce mirrors, furniture and sculptures, teaming up with Australian makers.
