Nearing Completion – Heritage in Coburg

Locat­ed along one of Coburg’s dis­tin­guished boule­vards of her­itage estates, this res­i­den­tial project is now near­ing con­struc­tion com­ple­tion and mov­ing toward handover.

The project began with the care­ful restora­tion of a Vic­to­ri­an res­i­dence, re-estab­lish­ing the defin­ing qual­i­ties of the orig­i­nal home, includ­ing red brick façades, a steeply pitched red clay tile roof, ornate lat­tice detail­ing and peri­od win­dows. These her­itage ele­ments have been restored with a restrained con­tem­po­rary sen­si­bil­i­ty and com­ple­ment­ed by sym­pa­thet­ic land­scap­ing and site works.

Inter­nal­ly, the orig­i­nal home has been reimag­ined through a refined peri­od-inspired approach. Soft curves and a rich mate­r­i­al palette of mar­ble, ceram­ic tiles and brass fix­tures cre­ate inte­ri­ors that feel both state­ly and con­tem­po­rary. A series of sky­lights draw nat­ur­al light deep into both pri­vate and pub­lic spaces, wash­ing over plas­ter, wal­nut and traver­tine sur­faces to cre­ate a uni­fied and endur­ing­ly warm mate­r­i­al palette.

A glazed liv­ing space cre­ates a spa­tial sep­a­ra­tion between old and new, open­ing onto a cov­ered pool ter­race anchored by a cir­cu­lar exter­nal fire­place. Round­ed plas­ter sur­faces and soft­ened edges estab­lish a shared archi­tec­tur­al lan­guage that brings cohe­sion across the two forms. The project is com­plet­ed by a ful­ly land­scaped gar­den set­ting, rein­forc­ing the rela­tion­ship between archi­tec­ture, site and her­itage context.
