Brutalism in inner Melbourne

Posted on Wed, 7 May 2025 by midcenturyjo

The Erskine Residence, designed by B.E. Architecture, is set in Melbourne’s heritage-listed Middle Park. Built with white concrete and limestone, it has a distinctive, serene character. Japanese-inspired walled gardens on both levels bring in natural light while preserving privacy. Tailored to its owners, the home features separate studies, wellness areas and a chef’s kitchen for entertaining. BE Architecture is renowned for its extensive portfolio of thoughtfully crafted residences across Australia.

Personally, I see this as being much less “brutal” than the “bunker” featured, I recall, last February(?). There’s much to like and ponder in this feature. As always (is that trademarked?), thank you.
