Tasked with revitalizing a heritage home in Malvern, Melbourne Studio Ceravolo has designed spaces that seamlessly align with the owners’ routines. Small-format stone pavers replace traditional timber flooring, providing cohesion and a grounding effect. The heritage front remains refined while garden-facing living areas function as interconnected yet distinct zones. Full-height glazing and a contemporary pergola enhance light and seasonal views. Thoughtful details—triangulated motifs, soft curves, and adaptable seating—enhance comfort, contemplation and connection.

Nestled alongside the riverside in Southwest London, this comprehensive renovation of a Victorian terraced residence exudes tranquillity, elegance, and sophistication. The spatial planning was meticulously crafted with the needs of family life in mind, prioritising the optimisation of natural light and riverside views. This involved strategically removing obstructing walls and thoughtfully designing layouts to seamlessly draw the eye outdoors. Crafted specifically for the space, bespoke furniture intertwines with carefully chosen antique pieces, complemented by layers of soft, ambient lighting and sumptuous fabrics in muted spring hues, creating an atmosphere of timeless luxury. The addition of a newly formed basement floor has significantly enhanced the available space, accommodating a secondary kitchen, family sitting room, gym, wine cellar, and utility rooms.
Designed by Murudé, this home is so serene and the design so thoughtfully executed. Imagine a busy day at work and walking through the front door in the evening to this. *sigh*

“A classic California Tudor remodelled for a young family of creatives and their many house guests. When the clients bought the house most of its character had been lost over the years. We worked hard to bring it back to a more authentic version of itself, choosing an aesthetic direction that tastefully represents their bohemian side while keeping it both timeless and relevant. The end result is a house that is warm, inviting and magical. A real embodiment of the client’s personality.”
A fabulous mix of vintage and contemporary, colour and pattern with a great outdoor area perfect for family living. 1928 California Tudor by Meghan Eisenberg.

Designed by Pandolfini Architects, South Yarra House melds sculptural and brutalist elements, crafting a distinctive aesthetic. Encased in concrete and glass, its interior boasts gallery-like expanses. Soft curves, clay-toned bricks, reeded glass, and walnut floors redefine space, complemented by Simone Haag‘s styling. Haag’s curation includes resin lamps, lambswool chairs, and hand-knotted rugs, striking a balance between austerity and warmth. Amidst neutral tones, textiles and art exude opulence, tempering the brutalist surfaces. This interplay extends to furniture, where sleek designs meet tactile elements, culminating in a harmonious fusion.
