A pure expression of scale, proportion and light, Grange Residence is a generous family sanctuary in Toorak, with breath-taking views of Melbourne’s city skyline.
Split across four levels to navigate the expansive, sloping site, the layout is oriented by a central axis and vertical stairwell, establishing an intuitive and rhythmic journey throughout. The ambition to celebrate the journey through the home became a driving principle, guiding a nuanced approach to the sequencing of spaces.
Entry to the home is granted through a gatehouse from the street, where a walled garden creates a sense of privacy and seclusion. The home’s entry floor level is intentionally raised to generate a sense of ‘stepping up’ to a lookout. The acid-etched marble of the front façade flows into the interior, intuitively drawing movement through the home’s central spine, across the outdoor terrace and infinity-edge pool, where panoramic views across the city are spectacularly revealed.
