Architects Kerry Phelan and Stephen Javens, directors of K.P.D.O., created a home out of the ramshackle garage of an old military building in Melbourne
Behind its heritage facade a new building was constructed of brick, concrete, travertine and timber – simple materials used in a very graphic way. Rooms with no particular function were included, the couple preferring to have gorgeous spaces to house art and a judicious selection of furniture.
A timeless mood prevails in the design with personality coming from 70s ceramics, 80s furniture, Italian and Scandinavian glassware and vintage textiles from Greece and Morocco.
