Melbourne based interior designer Alison Lewis had always dreamed about designing a period style home. When she spotted this 1930’s renovators delight she knew immediately that this was the one to make that dream come true. While most of us would want to get in there and start tearing down the walls straight away, Alison practiced considered restraint and lived in the home for 12 months before beginning the renovation (although she may have had to rip up the 40 year old dust filled carpet because no-one wants to live with that). Wanting to do the home justice, she explains that this was a crucial step in order to properly understand the flow and best use of each space. By taking this approach, Alison was able to visualize the impact a revised floorplan would have, see where the natural light comes in to maximize it’s full effect in the home and consider which elements were non-negotiables. Judging by the outcome, we’re pretty sure that decision has paid off as the Cecil Street Project is one to remember!
