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.

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.
