Our Houses, Melbourne 2025
Thu 20 Feb 2025 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM AEDT
Tongue & Groove, 306 Swan Street, Richmond, Melbourne Vic 3121
Description
In this edition of Our Houses, two architects and their clients will share behind-the-scenes stories from two clever adaptations to houses from the 1970s, celebrating the renewal, rather than the replacement, of our cities’ existing housing.
TALKS
Matthew Eagle, director of ME, and client Libby will share their experiences of recoding a soundly built but unassuming 1970s project home on the Gold Coast. An intelligent process of extraction and attitude of repair has pushed back against the raze-and-rebuild mindset that proliferates in the region.
Jessie Fowler, founding director of Fowler and Ward Architects, and client Liz will reflect on the restrained yet joyful revival of a brown-brick home in suburban Melbourne. Modest interventions and a shared willingness to celebrate the seventies spirit has resulted in a delightful home that embraces the “small but mighty” mantra.
