The 19th Century heritage building started life as a residence to a prominent Ballarat physician and family. Pitch was entrusted to bring to life and establish a bespoke accommodation in the heart of Ballarat.

Honouring the ethos of adaptive reuse, the grandeur of the mansion is restored and celebrated. The modern injections are carefully considered, curated in an architectural language that favours restrained but elegant forms. The new structures employs a clean and minimal palette of materials with subdued colours inserted behind the backdrop of the original facade. This contrast draws the viewer’s attention to the symbiosis of the old and the new.   

Colour is the story. Hotel Vera as it is now christened, employs colour to celebrate and narrate a story.
