Strathmore Residence is a luxury residential development that redefines modern living through restraint, material integrity, and balance. With its bold architectural form defined by strong linear gestures, steel framing, and vertical timber battens, the home establishes a contemporary presence that is both striking and serene. Inside, this architectural clarity becomes the foundation for a deeply layered and human-centred interior design response.

The interiors carry forward the architectural rhythm, refined through a lens of warmth, texture, and restraint. Blonde timber joinery anchors the palette, complemented by soft oak flooring and elegant marble benchtops. Subtle variations in the handmade subway tiles and a continuous use of soft stone-inspired finishes bring warmth and authenticity, grounding the scheme in a timeless, tactile quality.

Microcement detailing across the living room fireplace and rangehood canopy further enriches the home’s sensory experience, adding depth and character without overwhelming the space. Each design decision was made with intention; to create flow between rooms, maintain calm transitions, and evoke a feeling of unity throughout.

What emerges is a home that feels effortless yet considered. A sanctuary that captures the quiet luxury of contemporary Australian living. Every material, detail, and proportion has been orchestrated to serve the greater whole, balancing aesthetic restraint with emotional resonance. Strathmore Residence is more than a study in modern refinement; it’s an example of how architecture and interior design, when aligned through a single guiding vision, can deliver spaces that feel both elevated and inherently human.
