Winner of Home Design of the year and Interior Design of the year 2022 in the DMA awards, this visionary residence sets the new standard of family luxury with a compelling combination of sophistication, sustainability and contemporary practicality. Fashioned by Empire Interiors, exceptional space and form are perfectly arranged over three flawlessly conceived levels, revealing a focus on authenticity and durability that echoes the sentiment of the historic portable iron house that once stood on the site. A breathtaking facade and wide entranceway showcase the unprecedented scale within the reversed living floor plan, where three generous robed bedrooms precede two Carrara marble bathrooms, including the sumptuous main with an indulgent ensuite and private courtyard.

Soaring ceilings throughout with 3.6m to the main living floor add to the sense of scale, with European Oak flooring, white bagged brick and marble creating a soothing ambience against the durable construction of brick, steel and iron, exhibited within the striking streamlined kitchen, which is nothing short of exquisite. Practical use of space prevails, with acclaimed Wolf appliances, textured oak joinery and a butler's pantry all set to one side, whilst the vast benches reflect the space created by the full-width picture window overlooking the city lights. A Cheminees Philippe wood-burning fireplace makes a statement within the open-plan living zone, reflected upstairs on the vast roof-top terrace, where an open fireplace, BBQ kitchen and sublime city views form an exquisite backdrop to entertaining.

Floor-to-ceiling block-out linen soften the black-framed steel windows and doors, with features including a mudroom and laundry, custom joinery, underfloor bathroom heating, zoned reverse-cycle ducted heating/AC, extra-high ceilings, and a 500+ bottle above-ground wine cellar. Located within a quiet no-thru street of only a few homes, just a short stroll to South Melbourne Market, Bay St and Albert Park Village and the light rail.
