5 Vera Street, Williamstown, Vic 3016

Nestled in the heart of Williamstown, this beautifully reimagined Victorian residence is the result of a passionate collaboration between Basset Lobaza Architects, and the team at ML Interior Design. Every inch of the home has been thoughtfully curated to create a warm, distinctly Australian space where timeless character meets modern comfort.

The interiors are rich with soul and craftsmanship. At the heart of the home lies a stunning, chef-designed kitchen - featuring shaker cabinetry, handmade subway tiles, a classic farmhouse sink, and a statement spotted gum benchtop that anchors the space. A freestanding ESSE cooker not only enhances the culinary experience but also radiates warmth into the open-plan living and dining zones. Complementing the setup are Smeg appliances that marry modern function with vintage charm.

Natural textures and heritage touches are woven throughout the home, from solid spotted gum timber flooring to glass and brass door furniture, aged brass Nicolazzi tapware from Italy, and delicate heritage-style light switches - all details that add a refined, enduring beauty.

Custom joinery ensures both form and function, including solid timber cabinetry in the butler's pantry and bespoke bookshelves in the living area. In the bathroom, a clawfoot tub has been refreshed in a bold navy, while patterned hand-painted tiles from Olde English Tiles subtly elevate the chimney alcove.

From window treatments that honour the home's Victorian roots to the inviting palette of natural materials, every element has been designed with intention and authenticity. This is more than a home - it's a heartfelt renovation celebrating warmth, character, and beautiful collaboration.
