Bungalow Reborn
By Whisker Architecture
Where Heritage Meets Modernity for Lifelong Memories
Bungalow Reborn is more than just a renovation project; it's a thoughtful reimagination that seamlessly blends the timeless charm of the past with the aspirations of a dynamic and forward-thinking professional couple. Situated in the heart of an inner-Melbourne neighbourhood they hold dear, this architectural masterpiece is designed to echo the past while embracing modern tastes and creating a canvas for a lifetime of cherished memories.
The architectural forms of the extension boldly echo the past as minimalist silhouettes of the bungalow façade, retaining the proportions and angles of the existing whilst expressing popular modern tastes with simple forms. This chevron motif will help inform detail design decisions throughout the interior of the home.

The architectural forms of the extension boldly pay homage to the past, presenting minimalist silhouettes that mirror the iconic bungalow facade. Retaining the proportions and angles of the existing structure, Bungalow Reborn artfully integrates popular modern tastes with simple, sophisticated forms. A chevron motif, inspired by this union, serves as a guiding principle for interior design decisions, creating a cohesive and harmonious living space.
Bungalow Reborn is a testament to the dreams of a go-getter professional couple, parents to two young children, envisioning a lifetime of memories in the inner Melbourne neighbourhood they love. This project is more than a renovation; it's a commitment to building the backdrop for a million happy childhood memories for their boys.
Situated in a heritage zone, Bungalow Reborn takes a respectful approach by preserving the front of the house, retaining its historical significance. The expansion toward the rear of the block involves demolishing a '90s extension to build up, creating a more functional home that not only preserves the heritage but also adds a contemporary touch to enrich family life.
The strategic approach of expanding towards the rear of the block not only preserves the family's connection to the neighbourhood but also results in a larger backyard. Bungalow Reborn is designed to provide a more functional home, tailored to the evolving needs of the family, and creating a space where daily life seamlessly intersects with cherished memories.
Bungalow Reborn invites you to witness the perfect blend of heritage and modernity, where architectural echoes of the past meet the aspirations of a family planning a lifetime of happiness.

ABOUT YOU
This idea and this need has been percolating in the back of your mind like a perfectly brewed coffee in one of those hip, laneway cafes with a well moustached barista - and it’s ready to serve. You’re ready.
You value design, you may be a bit fuzzy on the how and why but you know it makes a difference to the way you behave and feel - and you’re ready to harness that power.
You’re worldly, you’re “woke” to the priorities of society (even though you’re a little disdainful of that word), and since you’re about to invest in a construction project you want that investment to reflect your values of social and environmental responsibility. You’re ready for a clever design that’s centred around your unique needs and your personality.
ABOUT US
We champion the principles of sustainability and accessibility in our projects -
because we only have one planet, and everybody deserves to feel included on that planet.
“Live [in] Your Values”
This is our Why. It’s about the home, school, or workplace reflecting what’s important to them.
We believe when we live, learn, and work in a space that supports who we want to be and how we want to live,
we have more capacity for empathy, kindness, and generosity.
And who wouldn’t want a world with more of that?
