Terrace House, 2024: A Stunning Transformation by Flack Studio

April 6, 2025

Embark on an enchanting journey through Flack Studio’s stunning transformation of a historic Melbourne terrace. The Terrace House originally built in 19 Century, it is located in the heart of Melbourne’s bustling cityscape, seamlessly intertwines the allure of yesteryears with contemporary sophistication.

Historical Charm Meets Contemporary Elegance

The Terrace House stands as a testament to Flack Studio’s design prowess. Here are some highlights:

Colour Palette and Materials

Flack Studio embraced a sophisticated use of colour, enhancing the historical features of the terrace. Rich hues, natural materials and carefully curated textures create a harmonious blend of old and new.

Spatial Flow and Light

The studio reimagined the layout, optimizing spatial flow and maximizing natural light. Open-plan living areas seamlessly connect to outdoor spaces, blurring the boundaries between indoors and outdoors.

Bespoke Details

From custom cabinetry to unique fixtures, every detail was meticulously designed. Flack Studio’s signature touch is evident throughout, celebrating craftsmanship and individuality.

Sustainability and Ethical Design

In an era of heightened environmental awareness, Flack Studio remains steadfast in its commitment to sustainable and ethical design principles. Here are some ways they demonstrate this commitment:

Eco-Friendly Materials: Throughout the restoration of the Melbourne Terrace, Flack Studio prioritized the use of recycled timber flooring. By repurposing existing materials, they reduced the demand for new resources and minimized waste.

Low VOC Paints: Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are harmful chemicals commonly found in paints. Flack Studio opted for low VOC paints, which have a lower impact on indoor air quality and the environment.

Local Sourcing: They consciously selected locally sourced furnishings, supporting regional artisans and reducing transportation-related emissions.

Energy Efficiency: Flack Studio incorporated energy-efficient solutions into the design. From lighting choices to insulation, they aimed to minimize energy consumption.

Flack Studio’s Terrace House is a testament to the studio’s ability to honour history while embracing modern living. The result is a timeless and elegant home that invites you to step back in time while enjoying all the comforts of today.
