Avondale Hall
by Studio Beal
Preserving architectural heritage is an art, and at Gladstone Building Projects, we were proud to lead the restoration of Avondale Hall in collaboration with Vivienne Beal, founder and principal of Melbourne’s Studio Beal. Together, we worked to revive this timeless residence on a tree-lined street in Armadale, blending historic charm with modern functionality.

WITH BALTIC PINE FLOORS, DECORATIVE FIREPLACES, AND ORNATE CEILINGS, THIS 800-SQUARE-METRE HOME IS A TIME CAPSULE OF A BYGONE ERA. VIVIENNE BEAL, FOUNDER AND PRINCIPAL OF STUDIO BEAL, THOUGHTFULLY EMPHASISED ITS HISTORIC FEATURES THROUGHOUT THE DESIGN.
“It was imperative that we preserve and celebrate its history and character by approaching the renovation with respectful sensitivity. The project required a delicate balance of retaining original details while introducing modern elements to meet the needs of contemporary family living,” says the interior designer, who softened the design to make it feel as though these updates had always been part of the home.
