Golden Design has completed an entire 17-storey residential project in a Melbourne high-rise, combining three existing apartments overlooking Lake Albert Park into a modern spacious family loft, redesigning the concept of a traditional family home for clients moving from the Mornington Peninsula to central Melbourne. Previously a series of small apartments, Golden combines these three individual residences into one through clever spatial rearrangement and family-friendly zoning, making it a luxury lakeside city penthouse.
Golden pushes design boundaries in the conceptualisation of this residence, with rich tones, textural variation and high-end materiality throughout to both mirror and combine elements of the family’s beloved former beachside home with the sleek sophistication of the residences of the local area. The floor-to-ceiling windows lining the perimeter of the penthouse offer panoramic views of its surrounds and allow natural light to permeate the spaces, complementing the moodier tones of the interiors. The residence in its entirety exudes warmth and texture, converging to create a holistic abode.

From the pendant lights by Rakumba illuminating the dining area, to the quilt armchairs from Dedece creating comfort in the living spaces, each piece has been meticulously selected with intention.Furniture selection and interior refurbishment were cornerstones in the initial design development that drove innovation, and with an extraordinary array of pieces sourced from local leaders in interior furnishings the final presentation ensures the home is imbued with a sense of character and individuality.

As an impressive focal point of the home’s furnishings, a custom Tsar rug centres the living area and tactfully exemplifies the essence of the overall design expression. With varying weaves and pile heights of both wool and silk in a custom colour palette, this rug singlehandedly epitomises the essence of the approach to the overall home and ties every aspect of its surroundings together in congruence.
