South Yarra Residence
Project Overview
A contemporary new build that responds to its inner-city context. The design maximises natural light and creates a strong connection between interior and exterior spaces through carefully positioned openings and a central courtyard.
In the living area, a seamless connection is established between the indoors and the lush garden outside. Large sliding glass doors allow natural light to flood the space, enhancing the warmth of the materials used throughout. We curated a selection of contemporary furniture pieces mixed with vintage finds to add character and depth.
The Challenge
The narrow site required careful planning to maximise natural light while maintaining privacy from neighbouring properties and respecting the heritage character of the area.
Our Solution
We introduced a central courtyard that acts as a light well, while strategic placement of windows ensures cross-ventilation and borrowed views. The material palette honors the original home while introducing contemporary elements.
The Outcome
A home that balances openness with intimacy, creating distinct zones for family life while maintaining a strong connection throughout. The updated layout improves flow and functionality.
