Fiona Winzar Architects
Fiona Winzar Architects is a Melbourne architecture practice whose Lunchbox projects show a talent for making the most of tight inner-city sites, often with a strong dose of colour and personality.
Victoria Road House adds a colourful, India-inspired extension to a Victorian terrace for clients with a love of the subcontinent. Orange Grove House began as a design for a subdivided block in East St Kilda, given complete design freedom, and makes the most of its compact site with double-height spaces and a mezzanine. Eyelid House turns a dark, poky single-fronted Victorian terrace into a light-filled, open-plan home for a family of five, and Dreamcatcher transforms the ugliest house on a South Melbourne street into an energy-efficient family home.
