Balaclava House

Location: Balaclava
Builder: Silverstream Constructions
Landscape Design: Straw Brothers

Balaclava House is a thoughtful blend of retreat and entertaining, where architecture and interior design work in perfect harmony. Set within a narrow Victorian terrace in Melbourne’s inner city, the home has been reimagined by Emlyn and the Olaver Architecture team to create a sanctuary of light and refined geometry. Formerly dark and cold, the space is now anchored by a superstructure that elevates it far beyond its pre-renovated state, with our custom steel windows and doors providing expanses of natural light and ventilation.

A consistent grid motif shapes the home’s identity, evident in black Japanese INAX Muji tiles, custom black steel-framed French doors, clerestory windows, and striking geometric steel structures. The interiors balance contrast, smooth and rough textures, historical elements against the contemporary, austerity softened by playfulness.

A combination of custom steel fixed windows and awning windows, along hinged doors create a sense of indoor-outdoor living within both the entertaining spaces and the private upper level retreat.
