Location: Malvern, VICTORIA
Builder: CBD Contracting Group

The challenge for this renovation was to introduce the contemporary into a grand period home that features a sweeping staircase, ornate archways and fireplaces without erasing the true character and history of the property. The client required a complete rethink of the interior to accommodate family life. The entire floorplan was reconsidered to allow for better flow and function between the zones of the home.
The new fine black framing of the windows, archways and interior doors may seem a small detail, however it’s a key to the new interior, unlocking a contemporary, lighter feel to the spaces whilst celebrating the grand proportions of the formal areas. Steel framed glass doors also give an immediate sense of calm and clarity. The design language is followed through into details including bespoke framed bathroom mirrors that sit atop extravagant swathes of textured stone.
The monochrome accents are also central to the black and white staircase, the palette updating the entire central area. The honesty of materials including natural timber, textured stone in muted tones and herringbone floors are complemented by modern lighting and furniture as well as the owner’s art collection, including new sculptural works by BEATRIX ROWE.

About the
Professional
We are a Melbourne-based interior design studio. We design authentic, contemporary interior spaces that respond to place, function, light and form. We are inquisitive, understated and considered in our design approach. We remain a consciously boutique interior design practice that values personal involvement and oversight of all projects.
We love to know, interpret and understand our Clients’ living and working patterns. We use the power of design to solve problems and through our design approach, find better ways to live, work and connect. We carefully think through the way people really like to live, behind closed doors; and how to work optimally in retail, hospitality and other commercial spaces.
We are rigorous and pay great attention to every detail of the spaces being created – the natural materials selected, the custom detailing, the relationship to light and the needs of people who will inhabit the spaces. We value beauty and longevity.
We love custom features, carefully curated natural materials and inspired furniture, art and objects. We believe aesthetics and functionality should work hand in hand. We are detail driven and value well executed solutions to create a cohesive space.
We bring to each project more than 25 years’ experience across materials, furniture, art and interior possibilities as well as space planning, construction knowledge and design thinking expertise. We are collaborative. We draw upon a vast network of local contacts to build and craft our interiors and bring our projects to life.
The product design arm of BEATRIX ROWE is a natural extension of the studio’s work and values. We design and produce mirrors, furniture and sculptures, teaming up with Australian makers.
