Elwood House is a light filled Edwardian home that has been transformed by Robson Rak Architects in conjunction with interior designers Made by Cohen and stylist Joan and Veda, located in Elwood, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The brief was to give a renovation and extension of an Edwardian home into an elegant, light filled interior that combined private spaces for individuals to retreat and public spaces where family and friends could gather. The overall contemporary design was kept simple, responding to the modern inner urge to pare back and slow down. This home was shortlisted for the 2014 Australian Interior Design Awards.
