Stanhope Grove Residence | Camberwell, Victoria
Chadwick Architects were appointed to lead the renovation and addition of an extraordinary Edwardian residence on Stanhope Grove, Camberwell, Victoria, a home originally constructed in 1903 and rich with the architectural character of its era.
The project carefully balances the preservation of the home's historic Edwardian identity with the introduction of contemporary spaces suited to modern family life. New kitchen, dining and living areas have been thoughtfully integrated to foster connection between family members and guests, while new bedrooms and bathrooms deliver comfort and amenity in keeping with today's expectations of refined residential living.
Central to the design is a layered relationship between interior and exterior. Intimate internal courtyards draw natural light deep into the plan and offer moments of quiet retreat, while curated connections to the surrounding landscape extend the sense of space throughout. At the rear of the property, a new pool and spa, framed by a generous covered alfresco area, creates an exceptional entertainment destination for the family to enjoy year-round.
This project demonstrates Chadwick Architects' commitment to contextually sensitive design, respecting the heritage fabric of an established Camberwell streetscape while delivering a home that is entirely contemporary in its liveability.
