Set within Melbourne’s leafy inner suburbs, Malvern Residence III by Studio Tate is a home that speaks to connection, to landscape, to family, and to the quiet luxuries of everyday life.

In Malvern Residence III, Studio Tate has crafted a home that is both playful and refined, weaving together tactile finishes, layered colour, and unexpected design details that breathe life into each and every corner. The L-shaped plan embraces a central courtyard, pool, and tiered garden, while a series of terraced floors nestle the home into its natural slope, creating a dialogue between form and landscape.

Inside, the design draws on the soothing principles of Wabi-Sabi, celebrating the tactile, the handmade, and the imperfect. Textural surfaces, from palladiana flooring to hand-glazed tiles and veined marble, lend depth and warmth, while Studio Tate’s signature colour accents infuse spirit, spanning soft blush tones, powder blues, and deep verdant greens. Each shade is carefully placed to enhance mood, enrich function, and inspire emotional resonance.

The home’s flow begins with a dramatic double-height entry void, leading into an open, inviting kitchen and dining hub where brass detailing and a hidden bar lined with Yves Klein blue cabinetry bring glamour to moments of family life. Beyond, a sunken lounge framed by exposed brick and garden views grounds the scheme in comfort and connection. Upstairs, bedrooms and private living zones balance serenity with adaptability, designed to evolve as the children grow. A ‘cosy corner’ invites play and togetherness, while the primary suite offers calm reprieve, enriched by crafted stonework and layered textures.

Throughout, craftsmanship is elevated, with joinery, stone inlays, bespoke lighting, and artisanal hardware introducing notes of refinement against a warm, homely canvas. The result is a residence that balances luxury with liveability — a home that feels both timeless and deeply personal, perfectly befitting the ebbs and flows of family life. 

Malvern Residence III is built on the lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong peoples of the East Kulin Nations.
