Refined luxury across three
well-conceived levels.

Kilburn
Winner:
Alterations and Additions > $1M
++Critical to a successful outcome was retaining existing period features, reinstating previously removed
heritage characteristics, and restoring the original street frontage.
++Reinstatement of an upper-floor bay window and porch balustrade to the front facade along with the front
fence restoration all complemented and improved the existing front facade.
The Gascoigne Estate, where Kilburn is located, is an area of regional significance (Heritage Council Victoria) and is defined
by spacious, leafy streetscapes and stately homes within formal garden settings.
Dwellings generally present a range of architectural styles, high-quality
design and material finishes. Front and side setbacks are generous,
with provisions for high levels of planting and formal landscaping.
Front facades are articulated with use of recesses, windows, porch
entrances and have predominantly tiled, pitched, gable roofs,
rendered brickwork and timber weatherboards.
For Peter Jackson Design, the client brief for Kilburn was to restore and
extend Kilburn - this tired, cluttered and dark home of the ‘inter-
war era’ - to its former glory, in keeping with the local community.
To satisfy council's strict heritage requirements, the upper-floor
additions were to be kept in-roof over the original house, maintaining
a single-storey appearance from the heritage-protected front facade.
The height of the original house’s ground and upper-floor levels
presented roof-height challenges, along with integrating the
ground-floor height with the backyard natural-surface level given
the approximately 600mm fall from front to back.
A less than ideal northern orientation to the front of the property
presented natural-light challenges to the proposed rear extension and
backyard space. Generous setbacks, of 11 metres to the front and
4.75 metres to the side, reduced the potential rear-building envelope.
The primary feature of this project is the new ground-floor living -
the 'heart of the home'. The striking contemporary kitchen with
attached living spaces seamlessly open out to an inviting alfresco
and pool area through transparent, frameless, glass-stacking doors.
The expansive outdoor-living alfresco area visually connects and
flows into the associated backyard, swimming pool, garage and
internal living spaces, allowing interconnected enjoyment of these
important family and entertaining spaces.

Hope Street
A time-honoured Victorian terrace
reconfigured to suit a young
growing family.
1001. Project Matters
Hope Street
Winner: Alterations & Additions
up to $250K Construction Cost
The Hope Street renovation from Sync Design has successfully converted a once ‘two-bedroom, one-bathroom home',
into a ‘three-bedroom, two-bathroom home’ for a young family rapidly outgrowing their Victorian terrace.
Located in an inner-Melbourne-city urban site, surrounded by
high-density development, Hope Street as a whole provides a
mixture of both single- and double-storey dwellings with most
sites being period properties. The lots are small and neatly
aligned together.
The narrowness of the block and the lack of exposure to natural
sunlight posed significant challenges.
Sync Design dealt with the narrowness of the block by
reconfiguring the floor plan and building walls on boundaries,
allowing natural light to come in through the north-facing,
glazed, floor-to-ceiling doors from the courtyard, even though
the site itself is quite small.
Kitchen, dining and living spaces take on a modern feel,
connecting seamlessly to the courtyard, creating a big
open space.
Maintaining the position of the heritage-listed fireplace, at first
glance was also considered a challenge. However, leaving the
fireplace in it is original position worked to Sync Designs’
advantage. Exposing the brick from the rear of the fireplace
now acts as a stunning feature wall to the entrance of the
master-bedroom en suite.
Paying homage to its history, clever touches evoke the true
essence of an old Victorian home and complement the ‘old’
and the ‘new’. These touches include old-style skirtings
extending into the new extension, recessed curtains, and
restored leadlight - illuminated by the morning sun.
Polished concrete floors and a modern colour palette define
the new spaces and provide ample light distribution through
the open living, dining and kitchen space.

Brett Seriani
Passive House Designer | Structural Technologist | Senior Project Manager
Seriani Designs
Brett Seriani started his career in Architectural Design in 1994, in Vancouver BC, Canada. He has worked within the
Architecture and Engineering community since that time and holds qualifications in both.
With his roots coming from Western Canada, his designs embrace the natural elements of the environment and
emphasises the selection of sustainable materials.
He is also a Certified Passive House Designer and holds strong beliefs that all buildings need to be comfortable, provide
healthy environments, be built with sustainable materials, and provide economical benefits to its occupants.
His engineering designs support his architectural visions on the use of sustainable materials within the structural systems,
and heavily promote the use of Timber and Engineered Wood Products, such as CLT, Glullam, LVL, as well as various other
engineered wood products available within the building community.
He is active within both the Passive House and Engineering associations in Australia, and still maintains strong relationships
with his peers in North America.

how did you overcome it?
Up until this year, I would have said my biggest business challenge
was the separation from my business-partners in 2008. However,
we have successfully moved on from that and more recently the
impact of COVID-19 has unavoidably been top of mind.
I am sure our experience will mirror that of most of Design Matters
National Members in small business, in that we have all vacated
the office, working from home, and are working out what happens
next in the new COVID-19 environment.
The big issue for us was ensuring that our data was securely backed
up in the cloud and our phone and other systems continued to
function without a loss of service-quality to our clients. After a
couple of weeks of mad scrambling in March, we managed to
solve those issues, in a very short timeframe. We are now genuinely
one of ‘those businesses’ that is set up to enjoy the benefits and
flexibility that cloud-based (access everything anywhere) computing
offers. I am embarrassed to say that I should have got over my
uncertainties and done this years ago.
We are still getting used to new online collaboration tools but have
undoubtably ‘seen the light’. We have been lucky enough to remain
very busy over the past few months. Our team is now catching up
face-to-face one day a week and currently trying to understand
what our future work environment looks like.
I am very pleased with how our team has managed to continue
being efficient, whilst remaining safe, throughout this truly
amazing and uncertain time.

C190 Revolutionary Dual-Occ

The amendment proposes a new class of local VicSmart

- B20 North-facing windows
Regular applicants will be aware that VicSmart applications:
- B21 Overshadowing open space
• Provide a 10-day statutory timeframe in which a decision
should be made; and - B22 Overlooking
• Are exempt from third-party notification and review rights - B23 Internal views

• Remove the elected Councillors from the process.

"We often overlook signage but
it can become very iconic in a
suburb. This apex belting sign
is a great example of an iconic
sign in the western suburbs of
Melbourne. The sign has been
incorporated into the
architectural style of the
building. The detailing in the
brickwork and the way the
building steps in to accommodate
the design demonstrate the
importance of the sign's
integration rather than an
afterthought. I used the
branches to help frame
the image."
