Careful interventions, clarified circulation, and new joinery has transformed this treasured family home, and all within the existing building footprint.

‘Starting as a laminated pod and wrapping around into the kitchen to form its cabinetry, clever laminated joinery unites all three spaces. “We really love this puzzle of how to make the most out of small spaces,” Anja says. “We get really excited using every little centimetre.”
Partly, that’s achieved through adaptive reuse of spaces and character-filled materials, from repurposed windows to perfectly imperfect bricks that were painted rather than bagged. “[We wanted to] acknowledge the history and layers of the house and not hide all that behind secondary linings,” Anja says. Considered repetition of a warm, timeless palette in both kitchen and bathroom helps too: marble benchtops, blackbutt veneer ceilings and display shelves, terrazzo and ceramic tiles, and textured, wired safety glass.’

![Sometimes what we need most from the people we turn to for help is to be seen and understood. In 2019, when a creative couple working in fashion and film turned to family friend Anja de Spa of Molecule Studio to renovate a beloved, 90-square-metre terrace in Melbourne’s Princes Hill, it wasn’t wholesale change they were after.“We didn’t want to change a lot,” recalls Charlene, a fashion designer, then pregnant with the second of their children. “We didn’t want to knock it all out and have open plan. We really wanted to keep the essence of what the house originally was and just make it more functional, because it is a very small space.” Read more inside issue 103, available now [LINK IN BIO].~architect @molecule_studio~builder @cbdcontracting~text @kath_dolan~photography @gemmola Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Country / Melbourne / VIC](https://sp1.picnob.com/p/pt_6724175944516622413824_0_532acb571978c552eb9826d10cc523a6.jpg?o=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&h=c3b05ed1e00810019aebc65a582e831a)
