The Bar

Reimagining A Local Icon

Location: Melbourne, VIC | Architect: Finnis Architecture | Photographer: Les Hams

Back in the day, this Port Melbourne milk bar would have seen all walks of life. Mum & dad getting the bread and milk in the mornings, to the 20 cent bag of mixed lollies for the kids after school! Transformed 30 years ago to accommodate the changes in society, it was time to turn it into a home.

In 2015, Adam met Lorraine at our opening night for “The Bank”. Lorraine was told about our team by a girlfriend. She was the last to arrive & how excited we were to find out very soon it was the perfect fit. Les Finnis from Les Finnis Architecture completed the original design to turn “The Bar” into a home. Chris & Lorraine felt it would be fitting to continue the story, including their desire to transform it again.

Designed For Living, Made To Enjoy

Also enlisted to collaborate was Catherine Francis from her Interior Design Company, as you can see this home is truly exceptional in a number of ways. most of all it has truly transformed the lives of Chris, Lorraine, Sienna & Aiden. Never did they expect to be on holiday when just coming home.
