This\u00a0penthouse is a living museum<\/strong>, a tribute to the Memphis group, and an interior design project<\/strong><\/em> that contrast with the gray skyline of Melbourne. This was the first residence of Robert Holmes \u00e0 Court, an Australian businessman who became Australia\u2019s first billionaire. When art collector Greg Hargrave acquired it, he requested to the design studio<\/strong> of\u00a0KPDO\u00a0to leave it completely exposed to reconstruct it completely.<\/p>\n

Kerry Phelan and Stephen Javens, the interior designers<\/strong>, led the transformation of\u00a0the luxury Penthouse<\/strong>.\u00a0In their first plans, they took into account Hargrave\u2019s request to have an open space concept to continue the ideas of a living\u00a0art gallery<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Another desire from the clients and this one was almost mandatory, that each room had access to the stunning views of the Melbourne skyline. The interior design studio<\/strong> had an enormous\u00a0challenge due to the amount of art that the owner collects, the complexity of creating and organizing a modern interior layout where every art piece can\u00a0shine with their own light. The end result is an impressive and eclectic\u00a0house, full of color, design furniture<\/strong> and with\u00a0some references to Memphis.<\/p>\n

The house has a private entryway where visitors are already greeted with graffiti by contemporary Australian street artist\u00a0Anthony Lister.\u00a0Once inside, the blue Klein explosion of the kitchen and, the mix of contemporary furniture with the works of art do the rest.\u00a0Especially unique are three seats: the marble sofa at the entrance (\u00a0Louis XV goes to Sparta\u00a0de Baleri), the pink, gray and white armchair at the reception (\u00a0Cipria\u00a0by Edra) and the chair with Mauritzio Galante\u2019s footrest from the bedroom.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
