Architeria Architects are currently undertaken major restoration, renovation and extension for the Iconic and historic, Hendra property in Mount Eliza - Melbourne. Hendra is considered as a great example of an interwar and significant architecture in the Old English style with streamlined Modern influences. Shaped like a boomerang, the single-storey house is constructed of painted brick with a high, steeply pitched terracotta shingled roof. Hendra is well known for its association with the Coles family, whose chain of retail stores became a household name across the nation from the 1920s. Built for Sir Edgar Coles in 1938, the house was designed for extravagant entertaining and family living with staff quarters, a walled swimming pool and large reception rooms. Overseas visitors were frequently entertained at glamorous garden parties, and many locals remember coming as children to Open House Sundays at Hendra. In addition, Architeria Architects is currently designing Hendra 2 - a new 500 Sqm house with pool and entertainment facilities on the same property, which compliments the architectural style of Hendra 1. Together, Hendra 1 & 2 form the ultimate Yin and Yang architectural integration. Stay tuned... the great work of Architeria will continue to flow.
