337 Dorcas Street South
Set behind a traditional Victorian facade, this South Melbourne residence has been redefined by interior designer Carole Whiting, and features a considered balance of heritage moments and contemporary living.
Working within the constraints of a narrow urban footprint, the design introduces a more expansive internal environment, where light and spatial continuity become central to daily life.
A sequence of living spaces unfolds at the rear, with carefully positioned openings and changes in volume drawing natural light deep into the plan. Material contrast plays a key role in articulating old and new, with tactile finishes and refined detailing bringing warmth and cohesion to the interior.
Whiting’s approach prioritises both clarity and comfort, ensuring the home supports a fluid way of living. Communal areas are open and connected, while more private spaces are resolved with a sense of calm and enclosure.
Through this layered composition, the residence offers a contemporary interpretation of terrace living, where the character of the original dwelling is retained while the interior is reshaped for modern life.
