位于澳大利亚维多利亚州Armadale的房产，其为一套将光线和空间设计完美结合的独特住宅，地处备受赞誉的阿马代尔地区（Armadale pocket），距离联合街公园（Union St Park）、莫尔文（Malvern）和阿马代尔购物中心（Armadale shopping）只有数分钟路程，交通便利，可以方便地去往一流的学校。
这座住宅前身是一座陈旧的维多利亚时代建筑（建于约1890年），先后用作牛奶场和画廊，建筑师斯蒂芬·瓦拉迪（Stephen Varady）重新将其改造并为这座旧建筑注入了新元素，赋予它新的生命。改造后的住宅十分独特，设有四间卧室和三间浴室，室内光线充足，有多个起居区、家庭办公室、通向室外的流线型通道、太阳能恒温游泳池、改造后的马厩和安全的车库。
这座房子入围了2008年国家建筑奖（2008 National Architecture Awards），而其主卧室在同一年被《百丽》（Belle Magazine）评选为澳大利亚最美的50个房间。该住宅最近重新装修过，现在和十多年前翻修时一样吸引人，一样富有现代风情。
住宅安装了法国橡木地板、抛光混凝土、青石和木材饰面以及捕捉北极光的窗户，营造出私密、精致但朴实的室内空间，其实用的平面设计适合有年幼或较大孩子的家庭。住宅搭配使用了新旧材料，拥有朴实无华的立面和翻新的外墙，使其在社区中重新占据了一席之地。
门厅通向起居室，大厅通向阳光充足的厨房，厨房配有维京牌（Viking）炊具、抛光混凝土操作台、定制蚀刻玻璃防溅板和餐具室。厨房可俯瞰起居室，起居室有大玻璃推拉门通向宽阔的平台、花园和游泳池，提供了丰富的室内外娱乐选择。餐厅是开放式的私密空间，隔壁有一个宽敞的家庭办公室和第四间起居室。
楼上设有精心设计、简约风格的主套房，主套房带有步入式衣柜和豪华套内卫浴，展现出建筑背后的品味、创意和专业知识。另外三间更宽敞的卧室均配有内置衣柜和可打开的屋顶天窗，可以欣赏夜空，这三间卧室共享一间分区浴室。
改造后的马厩可用作另一间宽敞的起居空间/游戏室，同样可以看到屋顶。住宅设施充足，包括带内部入口的遥控车库、客房浴室、洗衣房、化妆室、循环供暖设施、空调、推拉门、可存放600多瓶酒的酒窖。
您与家人会喜欢这座住宅蕴藏的历史风情、广阔的居住空间和便利环境（可前往公共交通设施、商店和许多优秀的学校）。

Light and space come together in perfect harmony at this distinctive home in this prized Armadale pocket just moments to Union St Park, Malvern and Armadale shopping, transport and with easy access to leading schools.
Architect Stephen Varady has taken a faded Victorian building, c.1890 and former Dairy and Gallery and grafted new elements onto the old to give it new life. The result is a unique four bedroom, three bathroom home with light -filled interiors, multiple living areas, home office, streamlined connection to the outdoors, solar-heated swimming pool, converted stables and secure garaging.
The home was a finalist in the 2008 National Architecture Awards, while the main bedroom made Belle Magazine's Top 50 rooms in Australia the same year. Recently refreshed, it is as appealing and contemporary today as when it was renovated more than a decade ago.
French oak floorboards, polished concrete, bluestone and timber finishes, and windows that capture the northern light create private, sophisticated yet homely interiors with a functional floorplan suited to families with young or older children. Mixing old and new materials, the unpretentious façade and rejuvenated external walls let the building reclaim its position in the neighbourhood.
The entry foyer opens to the living room before the hall leads to the sun-drenched kitchen with a Viking cooker, polished concrete benches, bespoke etched glass splashback and butler's pantry. The kitchen overlooks the living room where big glass sliders open to broad decks, garden and pool for countless indoor-outdoor entertaining options. The dining room is an intimate space in the open-plan design with a spacious home office and a fourth living room nearby.
Upstairs the design and simplicity of the main suite with walk-in wardrobe and luxurious ensuite shows the taste, creativity and expertise behind the build. Three more spacious bedrooms with built-in robes and openable roof windows to view the night sky share a zoned bathroom.
Converted stables offer another expansive living space/ games room with rooftop views. Features include remote controlled garage with internal entry, guest bathroom, laundry, powder room, hydronic heating, air-con, sliding cavity doors, 600- plus bottle cellar.
Families will love the combination of this home's history, vast living spaces and convenience close to public transport, shops and access to many excellent schools
