Gore Street House transforms a typical inner-city terrace into a home defined by movement, light, and spatial experience. Circulation and rooms are choreographed to guide inhabitants through layered interiors, creating moments of pause, retreat, and connection. Heritage fabric at the front is preserved, while the rear addition maximises light and refuge. With carefully considered materials and rhythm, the house offers a calm, generous sanctuary in the heart of a dense urban neighbourhood.
We love hosting – drinks, dinners, friends visiting from overseas – so the open plan with the large island bench as a centrepiece balanced on either side by the cosy dining nook and living area works really well. Soaring steel windows and void surrounding the internal courtyard creates an incredible feeling of light and spaciousness on what is a relatively small inner city block. The earthy interiors give us a sense of calm amidst the hustle of Fitzroy.
