In Bayswater, Perth, two established Eucalyptus trees are the sole survivors of a corner block that was destined for greater things. A family of six and a dog had spent the past ten years in the old weatherboard house there. Then they turned to Robeson Architects to create a modern forever home without disrespecting the area’s heritage.
“We didn’t want to put some modern monstrosity on a prominent corner,” associate Lauren Benson laughs.
