Elm Tree Place

A unique modern house in the northern suburbs of Carlton, Melbourne, Australia, designed by local architecture firm Eastop Architects. Elm Tree Place was built by CBD contract, landscape by Eckerleys Garden Architecture, furniture by Castorina and Co and modelling by Jess Kneebone.

Elm Tree Place has its foundations in contemporary Australian architecture. Originally designed by Nonda Katsalidis in the mid 1980’s, Eastop Architects reimagined the existing conditions through a highly controlled use of materiality and light, to create a sequence of contrasting and expressive spatial experiences.

The multi-storey house covers 205 square metres and its various components are built in response to this feeling of lightness. The exposed brick and black screens also emphasize the sleek form and wrap the house in its own protective shell, deliberately avoiding decoration and decoration. Inside, the approach is controlled, with straight planes intersecting with equal precision, pouring natural light from the facade, roof and ceiling openings.

Entering the building, the lower level is textural and minimal. Light has been manipulated through the layering of glass, controlled to create a sense of drama. Textured walls and dark timber floors reflect filtered light throughout. An internal garden provides a softness in contrast to the concrete and introduces the vertical connection between the levels. The upper level is formed by a series of formal and informal living spaces. The kitchen area, centred around an oversized bench space, is designed to be a place of gathering, with emphasis on entertainment. The living and dining spaces are structured around the rooftop garden, with floor to ceiling windows creating a sense of lightness and providing an expansion of space.
