Railway Parade South, Chadstone

Located in Chadstone, this single-storey residence reimagines the suburban home through a contemporary lens. The design combines a minimalist architectural language with tactile materiality, blending modern proportions with subtle references to mid-century suburban brickwork.

A steeply pitched gabled roof in dark cladding defines the form, anchoring the home with a bold silhouette. This is balanced by a central brick façade in warm, light tones, offset by darker flanking volumes and softened with vertical timber accents at the entry. The interplay of brick, metal, and timber creates a carefully composed balance of contrast and warmth.

Large windows punctuate the elevations, drawing natural light deep into the interiors while framing views of the surrounding landscape. The entry sequence, marked by stepping stones across a simple green lawn, reinforces the home’s understated elegance.

Designed with efficiency and contemporary living in mind, the residence integrates low-maintenance landscaping, a discreet single-car garage, and a clear architectural rhythm that reflects both function and form. The result is a home that feels at once modern, grounded, and finely tuned to its suburban context.
