The Hello House is a two-bedroom Victorian-era home and
creative studio (and former shop) in Richmond, Melbourne (VIC), Australia. Most
noticeably, the home features a large, white-brick wall featuring the word
‘HELLO’, that offers a conversation with the neighbouring buildings and its
residents.

A skin of brick is all it takes to keep a secret and two
worlds exist happily side by side with a public face that cheerfully greets the
street while giving nothing away about the world behind. Inside, the house
adjusts to the needs and moods of its residents – a cosy retreat in winter or
an airy pavilion in summer – all secret from the outside world.

Rather than blending in or blanding out of its heritage-ous
neighbourhood, Hello House is a slightly loud but friendly new face in the
street.
