南亚拉住宅丨Bergman & Co

In the heart of South Yarra, this home by Bergman & Co showcases the luxury that can come with a little restraint. Nestled in a compact, inner-suburban site, the residence embraced thoughtful planning alongside a meticulous material palette to enhance both scale and connection.

Beyond the sculpted facade of hit-and-miss brickwork, the house unfolds as a lifestyle-driven haven, geared to the needs of the clients. From the entrance views of a narrow reflection pool hint at what lies beyond, all while guiding visitors into the heart of the home. In the living area, a central sunken lounge becomes a focal point, featuring a suspended fireplace and multi-use plinth, offering a layered setting that is as cosy as it is sophisticated.

A timber-lined kitchen is anchored by a scooped, blush onyx bench, creating a natural gathering place for the family that opens laterally on to an outside pool and courtyard. The timber continues on the stairs, leading to the home’s private zones that embrace soothing tones and elemental forms geared towards elevating domestic rituals.

Finely crafted timber joinery, tactile finishes and subtle embellishments all unite to create a calm and relaxed home. The icing on the cake? An intimate rooftop terrace creates a seamless connection between the interior and the vibrant city beyond.
