Seddon House interior renovation is the first stage of works to a Victorian era home set on a 2200sqm site only 6kms from Melbourne's centre. The second stage involves the construction of a contemporary gable outbuilding, and landscaped pool and terrace zone for outdoor living.

The existing home was originally built in 1875. The house underwent an addition and renovation some time ago. The local residential area consists of mainly small grain size Victorian cottages, so when this unique and significant property came up for sale several years ago, the clients were quick to snap it up.

The aim of the renovation was to peel back the superfluous layers that had been added to the house over time, and take it back to a bare bone version of itself while still subtly celebrating its grandeur. The beautiful Victorian proportions were maintained and highlighted, while a light touch was achieved through the use of restrained, natural materials and colour palette. The natural and pared back interior is complemented by the existing abundant sunlight the house enjoys, arguably the best feature of the home.

About the
Professional

Rosanna Ceravolo is a Melbourne based architect whose multi disciplinary studio focuses on delivering a full and considered design response.

Rosanna’s studio creates architecture, products, and spaces which aim to elevate the human experience.

Her architectural work is collaborative, contextually sensitive, client specific and considered at both an urban and human scale with the aim of creating places for people. Her design approach focuses principally on how a space can be inhabited to ensure maximum enjoyment, considering connectivity, materiality, texture, light, and scale. As a natural progression, her work maintains a refined and detailed interior focus.

These gentle transitions between architecture, interior design and product design reveal an underlying principle that no detail is too small. Rosanna’s furniture and product work is a natural extension of her design process. The work is highly influenced by inimitable beacons of modernist design and it is characterised by form, simplicity, composition and texture. Each piece is hand made to order by quality local fabricators with whom collaboration is an essential and integral part of the process.

Rosanna believes passionately that good design has an inherent and unquantifiable value.
