Whiting Architects seem to be all over the bloggersphere at the moment and rightly so as they’ve produced some beautiful interior designs and high quality work in the past couple of years. The architecture and interior design practice is based in Melbourne and run by husband and wife team Steve and Carole Whiting.

The featured Park Street project is in fact their family home and a great way to introduce and showcase their imaginative interior design and ideas.

The first thing that struck me was how well they’ve adopted and carefully restored the Victorian terrace to suit modern family life with a large kitchen, dining and family space on the ground floor and 2 further self-contained bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs. Always conscious not to rip the historic heart out of the house but keeping many of the original features like wall panellings, arches and mouldings intact.

The interior design is strikingly bold and confident with dark wooden floors and doors contrasting with mostly white walls. The black treads and rails of the staircase are a favourite feature of mine as they seductively lead you upstairs to an all white attic home office and studio space. What a peaceful and calm environment to be creative and one that I could totally see myself in *sigh*.

Their sense of playfulness comes through when you find out that the additional attic bedroom can only be reached via ropes and ladders for Steven’s daughter. What a lovely family home.
 

NOTE | As you can see Carole has immaculate taste and also sells fabulous homewares online via her Y10store.com with many items sourced or manufactured for specific projects within the practice.
