From Selzer Design Studio’s renovation of an Edwardian dwelling emerges Armadale House, a bright minimalist home firmly connected to the outdoors.

Situated in Victoria’s leafy suburb of Armadale, Armadale House is a single-fronted weatherboard residence. Selzer Design Studio ensures that the minimalist home retains its appearance as a single-storey house, despite the renovation making it a double storey volume.

Armadale House stands as a successful reimagination of the building of old. Opening the minimalist home to its surroundings, Selzer Design Studio improves the standard of the residential experience.

The interior design of the structure speaks to the fact that it is an architect’s own home. An expert eye is applied to the scale of furniture, skylights and the single-length boards that cover some of the walls of the home, so that the dimensions of the building are emphasised. The beloved timber of the pre-existing home is complemented by teak, stone and brass accents, which form a sophisticated extension of the original material palette. Embracing its structural history, Menzies Pop stands as a cleverly crafted example of an architect’s own home.
