A heritage Victorian terrace house at Fitzroy gets a renovation in collaboration with an Artist Client.
Tatjana Plitt
An Architect-turned-sculptor Client, and an Architect with a penchant for art, approach the renovation of a Victorian terrace house in the heart of Fitzroy as artists might approach their work.

Three Stories North house fosters strong links to its original industrial character
