Located in Fitzroy, Victoria, Mygunyah by The Circus by Matt Gibson Architecture + Design is an innovative home filled with character and texture. One of the great characteristics of the family house is how it is split into three separate pavilions and finished with a soft connection of glass between them. The built connections bring in a wealth of natural light while also playing off the textures of the external materials, which are also used inside the house to add extra detail and idiosyncrasy that makes the family house what it is. Situated just across the road from Edinburgh Gardens, Mygunyah by The Circus is in a heritage area that features a lot of Victorian and Edwardian buildings. After being approached by the clients, who had just bought the house, the team was given a brief that requested a contemporary home for a large family. In answer to this, they increased the bedroom sizes and opened the architecture of the home to better integrate the interior spaces with the garden.
In the conceptualisation of the residence, Matt Gibson Architecture + Design revised three distinct pavilions that would come together as one innovative structure. The first pavilion is the original heritage Victorian-era home, while the second is the new contemporary building in cream brick by Brickworks and the third pavilion - to the west side - holds a north-facing family room and a series of individual gardens. The forms of the pavilions are inspired by a contemporary interpretation of Arts and Crafts architecture, to which Matt Gibson found was a sympathetic connection to the existing building and context of the area. After coming to Brickworks to collaborate on the materials for Mygunyah by The Circus, the architects chose to use various shades of bricks, with one particular colour being the Daniel Robertson brick in a bluff blend. Chosen to match the renovation and design of the new building to the existing, the cream brick is a contemporary interpretation of the original brick with a striking texture, colour and tone to it that links the pavilions together.
To the west of the innovative home is a green block that is broken up into three individual gardens and provides a link to the Edinburgh Gardens across the street. Throughout the home, Matt Gibson Architecture + Design has interpreted ideas of the existing building into more contemporary designs to fit the modern home. For example, in the family room the architects have installed a cavity brick system that has a double brick wall. On the external walls is the La Paloma Romero brick from Brickworks, while inside is white painted brick. The innovative home has also been zoned into distinct elements. For example, downstairs holds the formal living and dining spaces, a library zone and the kitchen with links to the garden. Upstairs the architect has split the zones, with one side moving into the old legacy building that holds the existing bedrooms and the new building containing two additional bedrooms. Moreover, the decor of the renovation allows for the owners to add their art and own characteristics. Formed from a great collaboration between all parties, Mygunyah by The Circus by Matt Gibson Architecture + Design is an innovative home that will stand the test of time and create a platform for ongoing memories and experiences.

Hey local project just here to say i love your cinematographic take on filming this houses but can we actually see the real house a bit more? The videos feel more like a extended trailer/teaser than a tour maybe we could see the layouts and how one space flows into another to get a clear sense of the house itself which is what I'm here to see

The apertures through 3 sequential hedges, and the vignettes they provide from either direction, are a stroke of brilliance. They are echoed, dare I venture, by the open fretwork in the white-painted brick above the family room window.

Wow, this project is gorgeous! From the exterior facade all the way to the landscaping architecture. Brick is not used as much in contemporary architecture, but Matt’s design allowed for it to have such a minimalist look. This house looks like an amazing space for anyone to enjoy. Thank you Local Project for this presentation!

I see more and more brick used in modern architecture provided by this channel. Maybe it's a beginning of a new trend?

I love it, congratulations! It belongs there! I love that the architectural style of your creation is integrated, fits in the place . In Greece, in many places (I would prefer more) it is not allowed to build in whatever style the owner wants, or out of grade, but with specific rules that architectural, will follow the traditions, the landscape, weather patterns, environment, history, of the place where they will be built.

Very interesting renovation. Unique spaces and design. I would be interested to see how the brick "roof" will hold up over time, if it is sealed against the elements, etc. Lovely colour pallette.

Brick and mortar is not inherently waterproof, so how is the brick roof made? I must say no going into detail on it’s construction is a missed opportunity especially for such an unusual technique.
