Media summary

Hawksburn House, nestled in the heritage‑rich streets of South Yarra, reinterprets traditional materials in a contemporary form. The design thoughtfully integrates with its historical context, offering a modern, light‑filled environment that harmonizes with the existing streetscape. By varying setbacks and articulation, and removing the front fence, the design softens the house’s presence and creates an inviting streetscape. Inside, robust brickwork and fine steel detailing provide a sense of permanence, while timber elements facilitate a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. Hawksburn House exemplifies how modern architecture can enrich and elevate a heritage setting.
