How This Restored 1930s House Engages With Its Street Olaver Architecture designed the restoration of this circa 1930s house to balance its heritage character and engage with its Glen Iris surroundings — elements both lacking in previous renovations.
The architects removed an unsympathetic earlier western addition, creating space for a new side courtyard on the corner site.
A relatively low fence allows residents to engage with passersby, creating a home better connected to its neighbourhood, context, and garden.
