Designed by renowned modernist architect, Peter McIntyre in 1956, the owners of the Grant House approached Robert Harwood from Robert Harwood Architects to extend and refurbish this striking, heritage-listed home, making it more suited to contemporary living, whilst respecting its original features and working within Heritage Victoria's strict guidelines. We designed an entirely new module, sympathetic to the original design in scale, format and materials and yet separate, connecting to the existing building via a glazed corridor. Linking past to present with careful consideration and a respectful design response.

Professional Reviews

“I first contacted Robert Harwood after my husband and I decided it was time to renovate our home. Upon meeting with Robert we found him to be very professional and articulate. Robert was very attentive and probing with his questions so much so, that, by the end of our meeting he had drawn on paper a rough sketch of the overall design. These became our concept drawings which inspired and excited us to move forward. Robert was great to deal with. I have enjoyed this journey and thank him personally for helping me, especially, fulfill this dream of mine. I would not hesitate in recommending Robert.”
