Higham Road's street facade is similar to another project in Hawthorn neighborhood also designed by Domoney architecture, contemporary looking with brown colors fulfilled with stone wall, dark tin and minimal amount of glass.

Backyard offers beautiful swimming pool right next to the terrace. Facade is, as expected, more open and connected to outdoor living space through floor-to-ceiling glass walls. I specially love small covered barbecue terrace with dining table. It is great for hanging out through summer. By looking at this backyard I see a lot of potential for parties and similar events, so everyone interested in this lifestyle, remember this contemporary home.

Kew House With Two Faces, Melbourne

Vibe Design Group designed Kew Residence, a house with two faces, located in Melbourne, Australia. Unusual and unique shape is just another plus of this beautiful modern home.


Three key elements defined this home. First, terrain. Slightly hilly terrain created opportunity to have floating home with space below the house used as protected car space or anything that owners thing is appropriate and useful. This creates double satisfaction because your floating home looks great and you can park your car under your house. Sounds awesome, right?

Second, street facade. As architects stated, street facade is inspired by the 60s and 70s stereo cabinets. Simple, closed and contemporary wooden facade stands out perfectly from surrounding green vegetation while being fulfilled with glass wall at the entrance located on top of the hill. And third, rear elevation or backyard facade. Made out of thin glass walls and connecting interiors with beautiful terrace and swimming pool.
