Egan Street

by Empire Interiors

Introducing Egan Street, a heritage Victorian Terrace situated in the heart of Richmond and positioned on a modest 98m2 allotment. This previously pokey and dark property has been thoughtfully transformed into an open and light, serene family oasis designed with simplicity at its core. In the quest for a simpler life the clients boldly made the decision to move their entire family from a large home in the outer suburbs right into the heart of Richmond. This meant a dramatic downsizing of space but a significant upsizing in lifestyle. The team at Sketch Building Design worked to carefully craft a three bedroom, two bath, two living, plus rooftop terrace abode on this 98m2 property. The materials used are authentic, subtle and timeless combining natural honed Carrara marble, handmade Japanese tiles and oak veneers. The Victorian features of the original home have been honoured while the new build components blend seamlessly with the old. The result is a serene inner city retreat that oozes style and charm whilst inspiring a simpler way of living and a fifteen minute morning commute for the owners who were each spending over 1.5 hours a day on public transport pre-move.
