The white interiors and light floorboards also generate a sense of light.<\/p>\n Outside, a paved al fresco area overlooks a leafy backyard.<\/p>\n 2 Rostill Court, Toorak, Vic<\/a><\/p>\n A sculptural family sanctuary, this Toorak home was designed as a monolithic form rising from a rubble-stone foundation.<\/p>\n With hand-finished limestone, floating rooflines, and expansive glazing, the home changes with the movement of light and seasons.<\/p>\n Inside, the home\u2019s four levels feature soaring ceilings and oversized proportions, with floor-to-ceiling windows that let natural light pour in and reflect across the interiors.<\/p>\n Equipped with a full-size tennis court, a swimming pool, landscaped terraces, and a gymnasium, you\u2019d be forgiven for thinking you were in a wellness sanctuary rather than a Melbourne home.<\/p>\n 43 Darling Street, South Yarra, Vic<\/a><\/p>\n In contrast to the home\u2019s dark exterior and fence, the interior of this reimagined Victorian-era residence is light and bright.<\/p>\n Brought to life by Hecker Guthrie and Acre Landscape Architecture, the home\u2019s interiors feature natural tones in the flooring, walls, window furnishings and lighting, complementing the natural light captured by the windows and the open-plan living and dining area.<\/p>\n A circular skylight serves as both a stylish feature and a light source for the staircase connecting the two levels.<\/p>\n While the home\u2019s original character remains, including the arches, fireplaces and ceiling roses, the contemporary revamp adds functionality and modern perks such as a concrete plunge pool and an outdoor shower.<\/p>\n 15 Hopetoun Road, Toorak, Vic<\/a><\/p>\n Close to High Street and Toorak Village, this apartment is designed by Edgard Pirrotta Architects. <\/p>\n The northern light is captured by large windows, while the open-plan layout and white stone surfaces bring light deep into the home.<\/p>\n Other features of the apartment include a dedicated study, terrace and herringbone-patterned parquetry, as well as secure basement storage, which adds both style and functionality.<\/p>\n
