05: DESIGN CHAMFER HOUSE

LOCATION MORNINGTON PENINSULA,

VICTORIA

The distinctive use of timber throughout

this family home is a signature of its original

designer, Kevin Borland. “The house was

typical of his late residential style, often

referred to as romantic rationalism,” says

architect Warwick Mihaly. The newly

renovated structure pays homage to the

mastery of its previous designer, with

modern tweaks in place to add a

contemporary feel. In the living room, a

fi replace is the hub of the home on cool

winter evenings as friends and family gather

around. With plenty of room for stacking

logs either side of the wood fi re, there’s no

need to head outside into the cold to add

fuel to the fi re.

06: DESIGN ROZELLE HOUSE

LOCATION ROZELLE, NEW SOUTH WALES

There are times when a home cannot be

salvaged and demolition is the best option.

This modern three-bedroom residence with

communal areas downstairs and private

spaces on the fi rst fl oor sits in the footprint

of a one-bedroom worker’s cottage. On the

ground fl oor, a wraparound timber deck is

one of its many clever features. There’s lots

of concrete in the build, and to complement

the edgy industrial look, a bespoke concrete

gas fi replace was constructed.
