A renovation to an existing 1964 Guilford Bell + Neil Clerehan designed multi-generational home. We transformed the two separate buildings into one, without disturbing the quiet modernist unassuming qualities of the original design –

A new terracotta tiled entry was created along wrapped in limed oak, a new kitchen + dining area and a separate laundry space.

While the upper + lower dwellings kitchens and gadgets were removed, the two existing green mint mosaic tiles bathrooms remain for future consideration + redesign.

The ‘Burley’ or former Salter House is a single story family home designed by Walter Burley Griffin and built for Stanley R Salter in 1926.

Built in a patented concrete masonry system, devised by Griffin, known as ‘Knitlock’,  this modular cladding and construction system was lauded as an efficient way of building dwellings.

The project is one of three remaining ‘Knitlock’ houses in Victoria.
