TOORAK APARTMENTS
INTERIOR DESIGN&FURNITURE
In the heart of Toorak, this block allows the creation of a common basement and pool area with two independent apartments on each floor.
On the first floor, the open space of the kitchen area features the beautiful Oyster natural marble on the generous island and the Italian Veneto timber floor, throughout the rooms.
The focus of the living room is the fireplace, which sits on the stone plinth matching the kitchen marble and a beautiful arched display area that connects with the shape of the wine and display cabinet on the side.
A concealed desk area is elegantly hidden behind doors, creating a continuation of the display area.
Opposite this area, a balcony with a lovely city and front garden view is placed to enjoy the outdoor in the peaceful street.
The ground floor, connected through the stairs and the lift to the first floor, counts three bedrooms, a master ensuite, shared ensuite, powder room, an open kitchen with a dining and a living area and a BBQ at the back , next to the pool, as well as the front garden space.
The palette is darker and masculine on this floor, featuring the luxurious Cote d’Azul and Nerofino natural stones, with timber floor throughout, dark timber cladding and details in leather and powder-coated metal.
The public living spaces are encountered as you come out of the lift.
The kitchen area benefits from natural light from a generous full-height window and it is served by the adjacent scullery while the open space connects with both the dining and the exquisite bar areas.
The wall timber cladding conceals the door into the powder room, keeping the room a beautiful hidden gem in the house, with a custom basin in stone and timber cladding.

CAULFIELD HOME EXTENSION
At ERDesign, we had the pleasure of working on a transformative renovation and extension project for a young family of three in the vibrant suburb of Caulfield and now works have started!
The brief was to modernise and expand the home to create a seamless blend of style, functionality, and comfort for contemporary living.
The living and dining areas are getting extended to create a spacious open-plan design, perfect for entertaining and everyday family life. The newly laid flooring throughout the home ties the spaces together, adding warmth and sophistication.
To make the most of outdoor living, we designed a sleek new cover for the alfresco area, providing a year-round space to relax and entertain, with thoughtful natural lighting from the skylights above.
Every bathroom is reimagined with modern fixtures and finishes, combining luxury and practicality. The laundry was updated to enhance efficiency, while a clever reconfiguration of the pantry maximized storage and usability.
Lighting plays a pivotal role in defining a space. We incorporated a mix of task, ambient, and accent lighting throughout the home and outdoor areas to elevate its character and functionality.
KEW RENOVATION
This beautiful apartment is set to undergo an exciting renovation that blends modernity with the classic elegance of its existing architecture. This project focuses on revitalizing key areas like kitchen and bathrooms, while respecting the architectural charm, particularly its distinctive arched windows, ensuring they remain a focal point of the living area.
The bathrooms will undergo a significant transformation to introduce floating vanities with moulded basins for a contemporary and practical result. Modern fixtures, sleek finishes, and high-quality materials will be integrated to enhance functionality and comfort.
The kitchen renovation aims to create a sophisticated and efficient space that meets the demands of modern living. A ‘U shaped’ layout will maximize space and improve workflow. Gaggenau appliances, Superwhite top and full hight splashback, and stylish cabinetry will be key features. The design will also include clever storage solutions to keep the kitchen clutter-free and functional.
Throughout the unit, modern touches and decorative lighting will be introduced to blend seamlessly with the building’s original features.
This project aims to enhance the living experience while paying homage to the building’s historical roots.
Stay tuned for more updates as this exciting project progresses.
