Pickford St, Prahran
Originally designed by late architect Wayne Gillespie and artfully extended by Watson Young Architects, this home preserves a piece of Melbourne’s architectural lineage while reinterpreting it for modern family life.
Framed around a central courtyard, the U-shaped home invites natural connection. Inside, Lisa Buxton Interiors ensured each room beautifully considered the building’s past. Gillespie’s signature brass detailing matched with a soft material palette echoes the home’s origins refined through a contemporary lens. Accents of bold greys and blues create a calming atmosphere that adds warmth and comfort to every space within the home.
Construction commenced August 2019, completed February 2020
