CENTRAL PARK ROAD, MALVERN EAST, VIC
When embarking on a design journey, the initial client conversation often sets the tone for the build or renovation. It is where designers and architects flex their listening muscles. James Woodford, Director & Designer at F3 Studio is a stalwart believer in ‘listen attentively and then speak’ and worked closely with his clients to better understand their design vision for the Malvern East Residence. “Our brief was to partially renovate an existing Edwardian home, extending the footprint to improve the function of the kitchen while adding a new pantry, laundry and powder room – all concealed behind secret doors,” James explains. While each space radiates charm, it’s the kitchen that achieves true MVP status. The clients quickly realised that “nothing came close to achieving the warmth and texture HOME OF VERSATILITY
of the Venture Plank Medio product. Aesthetics aside, the chosen boards also have an excellent wear layer and a stable cross laminated base. The quality is obvious,” James describes. Havwoods Medio was laid on a section of the floor and used as timber cladding for the ‘secret door’ and the ceiling – creating a warm timber flooring cocoon. The result is a home that stays true to the traditional idiosyncrasies of an Edwardian era home while infusing notes of modernity and functionality.
