Inspired by nature's connection, Fitzroy North residences open to their carefully curated landscape surroundings. Studio May focuses on adding warmth to existing Victorian homes by adding sunshine and cohesive natural hues. In comparison, Fitzroy North is set in a similar period housing in Melbourne's inner north and looks vibrant. The residence is inclined to an L-shaped structure, allowing for opportunities for indoor and outdoor living and open to lush landscapes. The large operable windows combine the interior with the surrounding environment, forming a view of the garden and adding sunshine and ventilation. Studio May continues the original form of the family through a carefully crafted and cohesive approach.

Fitzroy North's design takes functionality into account and adapts to the residents' lifestyle. By reconfiguring the existing interior, the focus of the house is on bringing residents together. By extending the main volume to the back, the living room, restaurant and kitchen space can better communicate with each other. In addition, leaving homes open to the elements plays a role in maintaining and controlling temperatures, while reducing dependence on energy throughout the season.
In keeping with the gorgeous original Victorian details, the home adopts a complementary modern and linear approach. The new elements combine modern fine woodwork with new seats, sofa beds and added storage. Then, the ever-so-warm ties the home era with the new wooden floor, forming neutral tones.
