The elegant, century-old Victorian facade of this terrace house in Prahan, Melbourne, conceals a surprisingly contemporary renovation by Biasol.

Inspired by classic Parisian style and the heritage of the home, the refined monochrome palette provides a boldly graphic backdrop for family living.

The finely detailed kitchen is the heart of the home, and combines stylish design with thoughtful functionality.

Banks of white, colonial square joinery rises up to meet the high ceilings, framing a central island bench with a Carrara marble benchtop.

This central space flows effortlessly into the living and dining rooms, where the same pared-back palette creates a calm haven.

This central space flows effortlessly into the living and dining rooms, where the same pared-back palette creates a calm haven. Minimalist furniture in shades of grey and vibrant emerald green punctuate the interior and add character.

Many of the home’s original architectural features have been restored – including the original arched fireplaces in the bedrooms – to preserve the charm of the period building.

Throughout the home, Tongue & Groove solid engineered European oak floorboards in a visually dynamic Chevron Parquetry pattern provide a seamless transition between the different zones.

The dark Penza colour and Classic Grade textured finish enhance the natural grain of the timber, adding texture to the interior; while the Chevron Parquetry pattern reflects the captivating balance between old and new in the renovation.
