High House in Fitzroy North, Melbourne by Dan Gayfer Design.

High House is the end product of a significant renovation to a five-metre wide inner city terrace in Fitzroy North, Victoria. The owners were intent on taking inner city terrace living to a new level, wanting the convenience of the location without compromising on space, function, interaction, flexibility and light.

Only the original front two rooms were retained, the new addition meeting the requirements of the young couple. Significant emphasis was placed upon encouraging interaction in all living spaces. Ledges, steps, lounges, benches and the like are all purposefully located to facilitate and promote conversation and activity between occupants. The design of interior and exterior elements are tailored towards the client’s everyday living and movement patterns, including custom seating on the rear and rooftop terraces.
