Holbrook House by Melbourne-based Brahman Perera is a modern family home that balances contemporary requirements with a deep appreciation for early 20th-century design. By integrating personal experiences and memories, he creates a space suitable for a growing family. The home explores sculptural joinery, contrasting finishes and iconic furniture design. Natural light is enriched by deep timbers, aged brass and varied stones. Vertical architecture and thoughtful circulation shape the flow, while lighting and textures zone key areas. The joinery, designed as furniture pieces, brings unexpected, sculptural details, blending Art Deco influences into a contemporary living context.
