Photography by Jack Lovel

Architectural firm Bryant Alsop has designed the modern renovation of an early-Victorian terrace in inner urban Melbourne, Australia, that also included the addition of a study and loft.

Stepping inside, you can still see touches of the old original house, like the front door, trim details, stairs, and archways.

From the front hallway, you’re able to see the kitchen through an open bookshelf that’s been built into the wall.
