An old and somewhat scary warehouse in the suburbs of Fitzroy in Melbourne (Germany) has been transformed into a fairy-tale house by EAT architects, headed by Eid Goh and Albert Mo. worker. 
The architect kept the outer surface of the warehouse, which was covered with vines interlaced on the walls as well as layers of dense trees in the yard so that occupants could feel one with nature. . 
The interior of the warehouse is redesigned in a modern style that the architect says: “The architecture is influenced by Venetian and Brazilian modernism anecdotes.” 
Accordingly, the main circulation space in the warehouse is divided into walkways leading to the inner courtyard, where there are dense vegetation and vines. The rust layer on the wall is also kept by the architect to create an old feeling for the warehouse. 
The ground floor of the warehouse is designed as a bar, where people can focus on eating and reading while the upper floor is the children’s bedroom area. 
“Old meets new everywhere, but the general feeling is that this is a home that has always been there. Tactile materials, natural colors and surfaces come together in a whole that feels comfortable and pleasant to the touch,” expressed the architect. 
A concrete core pillar in the center of the warehouse is fitted with a wooden staircase, leading to the laundry, bathroom and storage areas. 
The architect said that the usable details in the warehouse will be used to the fullest, combined with the interior with similar colors to create a unified whole but no less comfortable and new.
