Clendon Residence presents a contemporary interpretation of classic architectural principles. The design creates an expansive yet comfortable family home with elevated views across the garden. Set in leafy Toorak, the residence combines polished concrete render, generous glazing and dark bronze framing to form an elegant street presence. These precise proportions continue inside, shaping a series of sophisticated interior spaces.

At the front, a symmetrical façade defines the home’s formal character. Two sculptural forms flank an articulated entry door and central corridor, creating a strong sense of balance. On arrival, long sightlines draw the eye through the house toward a stone-clad terrace and lush garden beyond. The home’s vertical emphasis finds balance in deep window reveals, which protect the interiors from the western sun while discreetly concealing the entry to the basement garage below.

Inside, natural stone and warm timber establish a sense of quality and permanence. Finely framed doors, aged metal accents and hand-crafted light fittings introduce tailored detail throughout the home. Upstairs, operable glazing opens each room to a broad balcony, extending the living spaces outdoors and reinforcing the home’s strong connection to light, air and landscape.
