vicky victorian
expectant parents bring a contemporary refresh inside and out to this victorian duplex.
a new parcel-wide deck expands indoor-outdoor living, opening to the private master ensuite and the guest street entrance. children’s play unfurls on the open lawn and secretes amongst a lemon’s lush garden while parents recline on in-built wide benches. an outdoor studio offers at-home focus. lushness and drought tolerance join to make a low-maintenance vibrant living room, backdropped by a mountain mural, vines and hedges green the edges, embracing this outdoor family sanctuary. all within the efficient 25’x100’ urban lot.
