This contemporary residence in Kew is conceived as a bold architectural statement—where form, movement, and material come together to create a home of exceptional presence and experience.

Set within the prestigious Studley Park precinct, the design explores verticality, light, and sculptural expression. Defined by a striking curved stone feature that rises through the home, the residence is both dramatic and refined—balancing visual power with liveability.

It is a home designed not just to be lived in, but to be experienced.

From the street, the home presents a commanding identity—anchored by strong geometry and a distinctive façade composition.

The design is defined by:

• a sculptural curved stone wall forming the central spine of the home
• a multi-level composition that emphasises height and proportion
• a double-height glazed façade that captures light and outlook
• a carefully choreographed arrival sequence

This creates a residence that stands apart—recognisable, confident, and timeless in its expression.

This Kew residence is organised across multiple levels, creating a layered and immersive living environment.

The design integrates:

• basement-level lifestyle and entertainment zones
• expansive ground-level living and entertaining spaces
• upper-level private family accommodation
• a dedicated top-floor retreat

A sculptural staircase and lift connect all levels, allowing movement through the home to feel seamless and intuitive.

At its core, the home is designed for both large-scale entertaining and refined daily living.

The main living level includes:

• formal and informal living zones that flow effortlessly
• a statement kitchen defined by stone surfaces and premium appliances
• concealed functional areas including butler’s pantry and integrated bar
• direct visual and physical connection to outdoor spaces

The transition between spaces is fluid—allowing the home to adapt effortlessly between intimate living and large gatherings.

This residence extends beyond conventional expectations, offering a complete lifestyle environment within the home.

Key lifestyle features include:

• a heated pool and spa integrated with the living environment
• landscaped outdoor zones designed for relaxation and privacy
• terraces capturing elevated outlooks and city glimpses
• a fully equipped lower level with cinema, gym, games area, and cellar

Each element is positioned to enhance the overall experience—creating a home that functions as a private retreat.

The uppermost level is dedicated to the main suite—conceived as a private sanctuary within the home.

This space offers:

• a secluded living area with fireplace and reading lounge
• an expansive dressing zone with custom storage
• a refined ensuite defined by stone and light
• private terraces capturing elevated views

This level introduces a sense of calm and separation—elevating the experience of everyday living.

The interior environment is shaped through a careful balance of light, texture, and material.

The home incorporates:

• large expanses of glazing that introduce natural light deep into the plan
• natural stone surfaces that anchor the design
• warm timber flooring that softens the composition
• polished finishes that reflect light and enhance spatial quality

Feature elements such as custom lighting and layered materials create a sense of depth—allowing the home to feel both dramatic and inviting.

This residence reflects a new level of contemporary living in Kew—where design is not only about form, but about experience, lifestyle, and longevity.

It offers:

• proximity to Melbourne’s leading schools and lifestyle destinations
• a private and secure environment within a prestigious suburb
• a home designed to accommodate both present and future living

It is a residence that defines its own standard.

This project represents a bold and confident approach to contemporary living—where sculptural form meets refined lifestyle.

A home that is defined by movement, light, and presence.
