Toorak House banner

The interior upgrade to this existing 90s Toorak home manifested as an organic and collaborative effort between the owners, architect and local lighting design atelier Lost Profile Studio.

The brief for this interiors renovation was simple: to accommodate as practically as possible a lively, busy, robust, and inclusive family of five (plus 2 adorable pets) whilst creating opportunities for work, repose, and social engagement. Another critical consideration for the owners was that their eclectic collection of art, fittings, objects and keepsakes acquired over the course of their marriage and travels find harmony within the new space.

Rather than detracting from the original design language, we sought to inject the owners’ passion for luxe, warmth and vibrancy into a space visually characterised by a monochromatic palette, form and drama.

About the
Professional

Rosanna Ceravolo is a Melbourne based architect whose multi disciplinary studio focuses on delivering a full and considered design response.

Rosanna’s studio creates architecture, products, and spaces which aim to elevate the human experience.

Her architectural work is collaborative, contextually sensitive, client specific and considered at both an urban and human scale with the aim of creating places for people. Her design approach focuses principally on how a space can be inhabited to ensure maximum enjoyment, considering connectivity, materiality, texture, light, and scale. As a natural progression, her work maintains a refined and detailed interior focus.

These gentle transitions between architecture, interior design and product design reveal an underlying principle that no detail is too small. Rosanna’s furniture and product work is a natural extension of her design process. The work is highly influenced by inimitable beacons of modernist design and it is characterised by form, simplicity, composition and texture. Each piece is hand made to order by quality local fabricators with whom collaboration is an essential and integral part of the process.

Rosanna believes passionately that good design has an inherent and unquantifiable value.
