Park House is a minimalist, art-filled family home in Melbourne

Park House by Mim Design and Pleysier Perkins is an art-filled family home in Melbourne including a bold, concrete extension

Park House, once a Presbyterian manse, was built in 1856 in the Williamstown area of Melbourne. One of city's oldest surviving houses, it is suitably determined and rugged, modest and squat. Local architecture firm Pleysier Perkins was charged by the house’s new owners with its sensitive restoration and finding space for a discreet but significant and indulgence-friendly extension.

Fanning and team devised a material palette that echoes the rough and tumble of the original bluestone facade, using cut and chiselled stone in charcoals and dove greys, designed to age gracefully and complementing spans of raw concrete. These are softened by timber panelling, while sculptural pieces, art-topped plinths and island benches suggest a well-appointed private gallery.
