Originally a low 1920s Californian-style bungalow of 90sq m, the house has been redesigned and extended by a further 83 sq m
Profile House is home to a family of five, whose brief to BLOXAS was to achieve 'a feeling of openness, lightness, and visual continuity throughout their home and landscape'. The structure now features clear openings, such as an internal courtyard and a light well to the west, which connect it to its surroundings
Profile House's open plan also achieves uninterrupted visual connections across different parts of the house and its courtyard
Different ceiling heights help give each area in the house a distinct identity
Furniture and fittings are clean and minimal
The main living area
The timber- and concrete-floored living, dining and kitchen areas wrap around the courtyard and lead through to the bedrooms, tucked away at the back of the house
Bedrooms are airy and open
The master bathroom features a high, sloped ceiling
The timber wall acts as a privacy screen and a security fence, protecting the interiors from prying eyes
The house is located in Melbourne's semi-industrial inner northern suburb of Brunswick East
Profile House is one of a string of Melbourne residential projects by BLOXAS, two of which are expected to be completed later this year
