By Karabatos Architecture
Renovation & Addition, Malvern
Recently purchasing the property for the opportunity to downsize, the clients wanted a home that facilitated the housing of their elderly parents, their growing number of grandchildren and their wholesome love of entertaining within one compact yet generous assemblage. With many overarching statutory restraints, the design includes the careful renovation of the existing residence with the proposed addition replacing a 1980’s extension at the rear without affecting the restored heritage frontage.
Karabatos Architecture is a Melbourne-based firm devoted to fine-grain projects ranging from small office fit-outs to complete house renovations and additions.
After working as a skilled labourer on various sites during his university studies and working for small architecture firms around Melbourne, Ari at Karabatos Architecture has learnt the key to an emotive and well-designed space is simplicity. Understanding the importance of good communication both during design and construction, Ari intently listens to his client’s needs and wants in order to create a clean design that helps them realise their dream space.
“Good architecture is built through simple, clear and articulated lines…whether communicative, drawn or visualised.”
