Drake Street

Our clients wanted a new resort-style home that would transport them overseas all year round, so, naturally, we delivered – with the help of architect team, Page Stewart. The home is centred around a courtyard and central atrium, complete with a luxurious, fully-tiled plunge pool. Stone travertine cladding wraps all the way around to the north-facing courtyard, creating a tranquil space bathed in sunshine. A clever combination of natural materials with luxurious finishes extends the luxurious resort-style theme seamlessly throughout the home. We added natural stone slabs throughout, including limestone benchtops in the bathrooms, marble in the powder room and quartzite within the kitchen and living area. Natural stone tiles add a textured, coastal feel to the bathrooms, while brushed nickel and brass fittings add a luxurious, polished look to each space. A statement in-situ basin created with New York marble sets off the powder room magnificently. Care has been taken to ensure every last detail of this home was created using high-quality materials, meticulous finishes and consideration of energy-efficient design principles. That said, there’s also a strong focus on functionality, with distinct zones for relaxation, entertaining and play, as well as high ceilings for airflow and countless storage spaces throughout the home. It’s a luxurious home that can be enjoyed all year round; a private sanctuary in the heart of Melbourne.
