St Kilda Residence | ADDARC

St Kilda Residence is a house designed for two with ample entertaining and living spaces capable of accommodating the extended family. Located on a prominent north facing corner allotment, with frontage to a primary road with tramlines and a quiet culdesac, this inner southeastern site required a considered balance between creating street presence and scale whilst also establishing internal amenity and privacy for its occupants.

Conceptually the house is ordered around a series of enclosed or framed courtyards, each offering aspect and amenity. Robust and enduring materials are incorporated throughout, with rammed earth being the focal element. Depth and richness are created through texture and the play of light. The natural colour palette is enhanced with pale, earthy tones and subtle format and directional changes which enrich a minimalist aesthetic. Internally, refined and highly detailed objects are sleeved into the organic rammed earth walls creating a strong juxtaposition.

Peninsula House | Wood Marsh Architecture

As an artistic architectural response to Australias coastline, Peninsula House forms a dramatic sculptural relic, weathered by its context. A ribbon of rammed earth rises monumentally, before gradually tapering and returning to the landscape.

The planted atrium defines the axial centre, allowing natural light to flood the interior. Hallways snake from the atrium forming three distinct zones. The main double height living space rises towards the expansive views of Flinders and Bass Strait.

The dark, natural material palette of charred timber and rammed earth shrouds the building. Internally the thematic quality of darkness continues with black mosaics, timber battens, and terrazzo. Emphasised is the shifting nature of light and shadow along curving surfaces and forms of walls and openings.

Peninsula House is envisioned in the round, to sit harmoniously in its setting its raw sculptural language belying its domestic use an erosional remnant of its harsh, exposed coastal setting.

Kurraba Penthouse | Mathieson Architects

Kurraba Penthouse, designed by Mathieson, is exemplary of the studio’s approach to timeless design. Rigorous internal planning, considered details and a limited palette of materials were adopted to create a sense of overall calm and to pursue a notion that luxury does not need to be obtrusive. The two level apartment accommodates 4 bedrooms with robes and ensuites to the upper level with the living spaces located on the lower level that open out to an expansive roof terrace, garden, private pool and views to the surrounding harbour. The living spaces are arranged as a series of interconnected rooms that can be used in a contemporary open plan manner, or closed off to create a succession of private rooms. Pairs of doors are aligned at room ends creating through vistas.

Henley Beach House | studio gram

Henley Beach House embodies coastal living at its finest, seamlessly integrating with its surroundings to create a harmonious retreat. Meticulous design invites natural light to fill the interior, emphasising the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. The upper level features a serene master bedroom with modern amenities, while the kitchen, dining, and living areas offer spaces for both relaxation and gathering. A courtyard pool enhances the flow between spaces, adaptable to various activities. On the lower ground, two additional bedrooms provide privacy, each with access to private gardens. Quality materials such as timber accents and concrete blocks contribute to the home’s durability and aesthetic appeal. With its blend of modernity and coastal charm, Henley Beach House offers residents a sanctuary to embrace the laid-back lifestyle of Henley Beach.

Fugazzi Basement | studio gram

“You know what a Fugazzi is? Fugazzi, it’s a fake. It’s a hazy, It’s a doozie, It’s fairy dust. It doesn’t exist. It never landed. It is in no matter. It’s not on the elemental chart. It’s not fucking real.”

Descending the stairs into the dimly-lit space, guests are transported to a rich underground lair, where the boundaries between reality and fantasy intertwine. As you take a seat at the bar, you’re consumed by a sense of intrigue, wondering what secrets this hidden basement may hold.

This is a place where reflective surfaces, sleek two-toned timber panelling, marble and geometric tile patterns are layered to evoke a sense of nostalgia that’s both decadent and indulgent, but it’s not real.
