Hopetoun Toorak
A luxury development located in Toorak , Australia has been created as a light filled sanctuary with a pared back delicate aesthetic that connects to the tree lined streets of Toorak.
The project consists of a luxury residence on the ground floor and a penthouse set over 3 levels, although the design palette was consistent with both, each home has its own unique design elements and character.
The client brief to Kestie Lane Studio was to create a light filled retreat that encapsulates simplistic yet functional design. The sophisticated palette of finishes and custom crafted joinery sets the design language of the project, composing a unique adaptation of residential design. The Brecciata porcelain to the passage floors and walls was intended to create a gallery like experience on entry. The elegant layering of texture and warm finishes in the stained oak timber joinery, custom inlay carpets, parquetry timber floors against soft polished concrete walls accented with blackened steel shelving and a fireplace, creates a home that balances a modern timeless aesthetic.
The kitchens and scullery have a calmness with the coolness of the quartzite stone elements combined with the fresh grey joinery to create a strong sculptural design element in the living spaces. Within the penthouse, the two levels are connected via the sculptured helical stair. The seamless finishes of render and stone create a monolithic silhouette in combination with the floor of natural light overall producing an ethereal quality.
The powder rooms were designed as a reveal of surprise, a dark moody palette of Japanese glazed tiles and crafted Viola marble wash vanities are set by the warm ambiance of the Anton wall light by Volker Haug.
