Grange Residence / Conrad Architects

A pure expression of scale, proportion and light, Grange Residence by Conrad Architects is a generous family sanctuary in Toorak, with breath-taking views of Melbourne’s city skyline. Sharing Conrad Architects affinity for enduring architectural principles, homeowner and interior designer, Lauren Tarrant, approached the studio to design a timeless residence with equal emphasis on street presence and city vistas. Council siting regulations dictated unique façade heights along each boundary, driving Conrad Architects to pursue a split form of minimalist stone blocks. Each volume is carefully incised with door and window openings, merging deep reveals and chamfered window heads to emphasise a formal arrangement of sleek, vertical proportions.
