Fresh Victorian

An elegant Victorian terrace house in Melbourne hides an airy, modern interior. Designed by architects and owners Annick Houle and Stephen O'Connor of O'Connor and Houle Architecture, the addition of an extension on the back allows for natural light to flood the main living space, where the couple and their twin children spend much of their time together cooking, eating and entertaining. Beautiful home. More here at Homes to Love.
