Sophisticated and Detail-Oriented Home in Melbourne

With a very complex interior design, the Coronet Grove Residence by Maddison Architects is located in the Beaumaris suburb of Melbourne, Australia. The dynamic architecture speaks about the beauty of combining raw design with the love for details. Featuring 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, the residence has sophisticated open spaces and showcases a meticulous attention to details. The neighborhood had a deep impact on the design of the house and this led to an amazing connection to the surroundings. Panoramas of the Port Phillip Bay can be easily enjoyed from the long and narrow terrace, but also from the large windows that allow light to constantly create elegant shadows in each room. The architects have a better understanding of the surprising interior and exterior of the house: “Formally, the house is split into two rectangular boxes. The black, zinc-clad southern box encloses living, kitchen and outdoor spaces, and cantilevers out beyond its ground floor enclosure to capture 270° Port Phillip Bay views. The discrete activities of the house, such as sleeping and bathing, are accommodated with the separate masonry northern wing.”

ANZ Center, Melbourne: Colorful, Creative Office

Congratulations to Australian architectural office Hassell for taking out first place at the 2010 World Architectural Festival for best interiors and fit out award with their project, “ANZ Business Centre”. Located on the Yarra River, this is an impressive building.

This banking headquarters is designed to accommodate 6,500 employees making it the largest single-tenanted commercial building in Australia. With such a large amount of people to cater for, the building has been designed to reinvent the traditional office layout. The designers have incorporated ‘hubs’, each developed for specific tasks, with each area given its own feel created by using colour and given a unique name.

Who wouldn’t want to work here? The atrium looks more like a mini city than an office building, natural light filtering through the area with cafe style seating areas everywhere, as well as office spaces overlooking the walkway.

The use of bright colours throughout the individually named ‘hubs’ creates unique environments in which to relax, socialise, hold meetings or just recharge for the day ahead.

An example of the workspaces, certainly a creative way to section off different work stations.

Each ‘hub’ is personalized with its own name including click, play and move.

Finally we have the client meeting breakout space, an area where you can help yourself to coffee, bask in the sunlight and get down to business.
