Eddie Garden House by Alexandra Buchanan Architecture showcases a stunning terrace renovation in Melbourne’s vibrant Fitzroy North. Built on a compact 140sqm site, this project aimed to create a comfortable three-bedroom, one-bathroom home. The clients sought to increase natural light, improve airflow, and enhance privacy—all while incorporating a peaceful garden oasis within the bustling inner city.
Located in Hawthorn East—a Melbourne suburb filled with charming Victorian cottages—Oberon House exemplifies how a heritage home can be brought into modern life. Over time, the original cottage had accrued a series of poorly planned lean-to additions, resulting in dark, cramped interior spaces with minimal outdoor connection.
Highvale House sits amongst native gums on a sloping site. Perched on posts to disturb the land as little as possible, this raised position provides vistas through branches to the valley and hills beyond.
Barlow house is an existing brick and tile infill house that is set amongst pre war timber and tin Queenslanders in the leafy suburb of Clayfield. The clients brief sought to reimagine the front facade and the house’s kerb appeal.
The new Alexandra Buchanan Architecture studio, located inside the London Woolstores, Teneriffe, creatively positions a contemporary work place within an historic building shell.
