Habitus immerses professionals and young families in Melbourne’s inner-city lifestyle. Located in South Melbourne, the collection of townhomes is inspired by the area’s volcanic origin and heritage of Victorian terraces.

Spanning five storeys, the interiors offer ample space for socialising and entertaining, while also providing spaces for family life, privacy and a sense of retreat. The verticality of the architecture brings abundant natural light into each room, with fluted glass panes diffusing the light for privacy in the bathroom and kitchen.

The palette of natural and tactile materials, such as stone, warm timber and brushed gunmetal, reference the site’s past. The palette makes an impact in the kitchen and bathrooms, where the intricate mottled grey veining of the monolithic stone slabs is put under the spotlight – Sphera’s Okki Single and Double downlights.
