Robinson Rak Architects and Made by Cohen transformed this dark Victorian home in Melbourne, Australia, into an open, light-filled living space. A fully glazed exterior wall connects the kitchen with the adjoining courtyard and clerestory windows further illuminate the large living area.
A simple palette of finishes create a sense of coherence throughout the house. The interior was designed by Made by Cohen and the project was completed in 2013.
