Roseberry Street House is a contemporary two-storey residence located on a compact, narrow site in Hawthorn East. Designed to respond to the constraints of its urban setting while maximising natural light and spatial flow, the home features a crisp front façade composed of hand-made brickwork, timber cladding, and refined metal detailing. This carefully curated material palette expresses a modern architectural language that is both understated and enduring.
At the heart of the home lies an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, oriented to the north to take full advantage of solar access and garden views. Large sliding stacker doors create a seamless connection to the backyard, extending the living space outdoors and enhancing the experience of light and openness. The interior palette is deliberately restrained, with warm white joinery, pale oak flooring and soft, textured stone surfaces contributing to a sense of calm, cohesion and tactile warmth throughout.
Despite its modest footprint, Roseberry Street House delivers a spacious and functional family home through considered spatial planning and a strong connection to the outdoors. The project reflects Chan Architecture’s ongoing commitment to finely crafted residential architecture, where light, materiality and functionality are thoughtfully balanced to enhance everyday living. The result is a timeless and inviting home that responds sensitively to its site and context.
