PROJECT | Alter Ego DESIGN | Nexus Designs TYPE | Residential LOCATION | Melbourne, Australia PHOTOGRAPHY | Marie-Luise Skibbe
A bright refresh of an iconic 1960s Robin Boyd apartment, where classic Modernism meets the Centre Pompidou in contemporary South Yarra. Nexus Designs took a respectful and light-handed approach to reinstate aspects of Boyd’s original 1962 vision while adding light, flow and generosity of space.
A subtle palette is accented with vivid orange pipework in a playful nod to 1960s design, and a more user-friendly corridor creates ease of movement in the project that venerates the building’s essential character while adding contemporary allure.
