THE BAR banner

Location: Melbourne, VIC

Back in the day, this Port Melbourne Milk Bar would have seen all walks of life. Mum & dad getting the bread and milk in the mornings to the 20-cent bag of mixed lollies for the kids after school!

Transformed 30 years ago to accommodate the changes in society it was time to turn it into a home…

In 2015 Adam met Lorraine at our opening night for “the Bank” Lorraine was told about our team by a girlfriend, she was the last to arrive & how excited we were to find out very soon it was the perfect fit.

Les Finnis from Les Finnis Architecture completes the original design to turn “The Bar” into a home. Chris & Lorraine felt it would be fitting to continue the story including their to transform it again.

Also enlisted to collaborate was Catherine Francis from her Interior Design Company, as you can see this home is truly exceptional in a number of ways. most of all it has truly transformed the lives of Chris, Lorraine, Sienna & Aiden.

Never do they expect to be on holiday when just coming home…
