Houzz Tour: a modern house Architecturally Inspired by its environment - Behind a carefully painted fence and a walled semi-secluded courtyard, Fairfield Hacienda is in a suburb of Melbourne Street Victorian villas set and Californian bungalows , discreet and friendly to the street despite its contemporary design and recent construction. Antony Martin Mrtn Architects designed the new low profile housing .

Pivotal to the relaxed appeal of this home is cedar raked ceiling covering the kitchen space, dining room and living room, dipping and diving level by level, as a large wooden bird.
