It wasn’t love at first sight for Will and Lee. When they first saw this small 100-year-old house in the centre of Melbourne, it was in too much disrepair, so the family continued their search.

Studio Doherty gave this Melbourne home its soul back by reimagining its Art Deco past. The house was built in the 1930s but has been a bit of a shamble in recent years.
