Surrounded by treetops and just a moment’s walk from the city, Garden House offers a slower way to live – where natural light, thoughtful design and a connection to place come together in confident harmony.
Positioned adjacent to Carlton Gardens, Garden House offers a rare balance of proximity and retreat. A collaboration with Woods Bagot and Hecker Guthrie, the project draws on its exceptional context to shape an enduring expression.
Surrounded by neighbouring tree canopies, the repetition of Carlton’s historic terraces, and a view of the World Heritage-listed Royal Exhibition Building, Garden House comfortably nestles into its setting.
Conceived as a collection of homes rather than a traditional apartment building, Garden House is defined by flow, proportion and light. Each residence opens with a sense of generosity, achieved with oversized windows and private gardens to dissolve the line between architecture and nature.
Finely detailed interiors by Hecker Guthrie bring calm through materiality: natural limestone, curved joinery and a muted tonal palette allow each home to take on its own ambience.
At its upper levels, Garden House becomes a series of villas in the sky – zinc-clad and set back, these luxury suites offer sweeping views over the gardens and beyond. While every residence is unique, all are bound by the same ambition: to create spaces that feel grounded, private and beautifully resolved. Garden House remains a benchmark for urban living, awarded not only for its design, but for its lasting contribution to place.
“We responded to the surrounding environment to create a residence that reflects the character of existing Carlton architecture while making a subtle and refined contemporary statement.”
