The Melfort Hawthorn Residence, designed by Australian firm Conrad Architects, embodies a distinctly contemporary architectural expression while reimagining this grand Georgian residence as five townhouses, expressing a deep sense of heritage and context. respect.
The first of five townhouses is located within the original residence, with a new building behind to accommodate four new residences. While a common design language has been adopted throughout, the layering of Georgian details has been omitted from the new structure to avoid any sense of representation.
Melfort embodies a commitment to architecture that seeks classic simplicity and restraint, but with a depth of emotion that sensitively balances traditional and contemporary. The interior design has an unmistakably European sensibility - restrained but refined in detail. Soft, neutral tones are exemplified by oak floors and kitchen joinery, as well as Carrara marble kitchens, bathrooms and fireplaces.
