RESIDENTIAL
A radiant fusion of global inspiration and local character
Park St reimagines the boundaries of residential design, blending Tokyo’s minimalist industrial precision with the exuberant Art Deco charm of Miami and St Kilda. This vibrant and playful family home is the result of a transformative reinvention, uniting two tired Art Deco flats into a spacious, contemporary sanctuary just moments from the beach.
The design celebrates the power of colour in all its glory, with daring combinations that flow effortlessly throughout the home. Bright electric blues meet dark, moody hues; soft peach tones contrast with burnt oranges; and sage greens harmonize with delicate pinks. This unconventional palette reflects a bold, curated expression of fun, nostalgia, and individuality.
Each space within the home is thoughtfully unified and brought to life with playful yet sophisticated design elements. Highlights include a conversation-starting sunken lounge, glass block details which praise the homes roots. These are paired with modern industrial touches such as a suspended concrete slab, sculptural open staircase, metallic kitchen joinery, and exposed structural details, adding an edge of modernity to a curious design.
The architect, who is also the client, has infused the home with personal passions for culture, travel, and design. This unique vision is expressed in every corner, creating a space that feels deeply personal yet universally captivating. Externally, the heritage-listed façade features confident yet restrained exterior interventions from arched windows, curved metal fencing, and suspended concrete elements, offering subtle hints of the daring interior. The monochromatic black-and-white exterior blends seamlessly with the suburban streetscape, while the green door beckons visitors into a space that echoes the elegance of the 1930s, reimagined for modern living.
Art Deco elegance meets eclectic modernity in a home designed for joy, creativity, and everyday life. Park St is a celebration of architectural legacy and contemporary design, a house that invites bold living, creative thinking, and unapologetic self-expression.
