Cera Stribley adds warmth to this Brutalist-inspired Melbourne home
Architects Cera Stribley and interiors specialists AV-ID Design collaborate on this brutalist architecture-inspired family home in Melbourne’s swanky Toorak neighbourhood
The brainchild of architects Cera Stribley and interiors outfit AV-ID Design, this residence in Melbourne’s swanky Toorak is a striking balance of brutalist architecture-inspired design and interiors. The modern home, made in handmade bricks, is topped by a floor clad in patinated copper that offers accent and texture.
Having to deal with an irregularly shaped plot with a 6m drop to boot, the architects responded by composing an unusual floorplan; one that is created around a grand central foyer, off of which a series of separate wings fan out. This allowed for flexibility in designing different volumes which each respond to different functions and needs, while negotiating the slope, views and light orientation.
