Perched on a hilly site in Toorak, Kooyong Residence reinterprets a 1940s Georgian revival home for contemporary living.

The home’s traditional façade has been sensitively restored, while reconfigured interiors enhance light, flow, and connection. A sculpted stair and lift link the entry level to a new ‘great room’ below, where a contemporary wing extends gracefully to a travertine terrace and infinity-edge pool, softened by layered landscaping.

Throughout, refined period detailing meets a restrained, contemporary sensibility. Calacatta Viola marble, burnished brass, and European oak bring richness and tactility, while contemporary lighting and collectible furniture create a feeling of lived-in elegance.

Together, these elements dissolve the boundaries between old and new, house and garden, shaping a cohesive, light-filled sanctuary that frames the landscape as an ever-changing backdrop to daily life.
