From the Architect: “With its intrepid material and pigment pairings, our extensive renovation of a classic Victorian weatherboard residence located in Melbourne’s Fitzroy North complements the adventurous nature of its Egyptian-Australian owner….Transforming the hinderance of necessary Hempcrete support blades encroaching upon the dining area and kitchen, we incorporated their depth to enliven the mass of joinery lining the dining table by integrating a recessed nook to hang artwork, also setting deep shelves beside it. Continuing along the kitchen, pantry cupboards were granted substantial storage space.
…Hempcrete became our material of choice despite its rare availability within Australia given its insulating properties. We finished internal and external surfaces with natural limewash to enable it to breathe. The curvaceous dining alcove and new semi-enclosed courtyard plus earthy external wall tone was inspired by Egyptian architect Hassan Fathy’s mud brick constructions.”
