32 Rathmines embodies a harmonious fusion of timeless elegance and contemporary living, offering five distinct residences that honour the traditional row house form of Rathmines Road while embracing the parkside setting of this esteemed location. The architecture, characterised by pitched rooflines and carefully selected materials, exudes a refined sophistication that seamlessly integrates with the surrounding streetscape. Each residence boasts its own private green space and landscaped pathways, fostering a sense of tranquillity and connection to nature, while rear townhouses enjoy direct access to the picturesque parklands of Victoria Road Reserve.
Thoughtfully integrated metal lacework and timber elements further enhance the residences' connection to their historic context, ensuring a seamless blend of old and new. Inside, the interiors of 32 Rathmines epitomise luxury and comfort, with high ceilings, expansive living spaces, and impeccable finishes that evoke the timeless charm of traditional Hawthorn East residences. Individual garages, private lifts, and intimate courtyards contribute to the contemporary appeal of each home, offering residents the ultimate in modern convenience and privacy. With its meticulous attention to detail and unparalleled quality of design, 32 Rathmines sets a new standard for upscale urban living in Melbourne's prestigious inner east.
A common response to our work is an appreciation of the light and space we create, but our designs are also conceived for a world where the sun shines, rains fall, winds blow, and temperatures vary – it’s this thinking that makes our buildings liveable, and lasting.
We are a Melbourne-based practice specialising in intelligent and sustainable design solutions. Our experienced team of architects and interior designers deliver individualised and often unique outcomes specific to each site and context.
Over the years we have developed an extensive portfolio of residential, multi-residential, commercial and interior projects, many of which have gained industry awards and recognition.
Centrally located in Cremorne in inner Melbourne, we deliver projects of varying scales and typologies, with a consistent focus on high-quality, design-focused outcomes that are bespoke and timeless by their nature.
The practice was founded in 2006 by Brett Nixon and George Fortey, who had previously learned their craft with some of Australia’s leading architectural firms, working on a wide range of residential, multi-residential, commercial and interior projects across the country.
We have now delivered well over $500 million worth of projects in many parts of Melbourne and throughout regional Victoria, including Boroondara, Stonnington, the City of Yarra, Bayside, Port Phillip, the Mornington and Bellarine Peninsulas, Geelong, the Surf Coast and the Alpine Shire.
