  • An architect’s own home can be a challenge to design, with no brief or boundaries to adhere to, leaving the architect’s skill set and true style exposed for all to see.
    This converted warehouse is an architect’s own home, designed by and for Rob Mills of Rob Mills Architecture and Interior Design. Located in Armadale, a Melbourne suburb known for its character and village atmosphere, the house was created through a warehouse conversion, which gave the architect plenty of scope and space to design a piece of architecture that truly reflected his likes and wishes.
    Harnessing this space in the converted warehouse home, the house carries over three levels, with an apartment, sauna and garage at ground level, living in the middle, and bedrooms above. The interior design uses a minimal palette of stone, timber, stucco, glass and metal, with brass playing a large part in the design, especially in the kitchen where it is used extensively and effectively.
    This glamour and drama are at the heart of the interior design of the converted warehouse. A spiral staircase adds a sculptural element to the house, while also providing an efficient method of travelling between floors. The office, which has an English aesthetic with lush yet classic-style furniture, features timber shutters that close off to create a focused environment or open to let in plenty of natural daylight.
    Close connections to nature were important to the architect, Rob Mills of Rob Mills Architecture and Interior Design. A water feature trickles through the living space of the converted warehouse, providing a meditative element to the room. Materials were chosen for their non-toxicity, with stucco walls specified as a natural alternative to paint.
    An architect’s own converted warehouse home, Armadale Residence features designer furniture throughout that is carefully chosen to subtly fit with the shine and glamour of the materials.

    Wow. One of the best in your series of videos. The architect is also a paragon of humility while creating something that is knockout gorgeous on every level. Also the level of production on these videos is simply incredible. Bravo.

    This is my favourite so far on this channel. I loved how he talked about his village neighbourhood, his work here totally respects its location and environment, despite being so progressive, it fits in perfectly. And he has injected glamour - that kitchen! the gallery! the sweeping staircase! - and a few old pieces and a bit of history which many modern architects seem to reject. It’s a spectacular yet incredibly liveable home.

    This design and everything about it is so beautiful it almost makes me want to cry. It feels warm and cozy, yet sexy and sophisticated. It appears to be quite modern with lines but the brass in the perfect places makes this house like it is an absolute classic; a kind of little black dress or the ever elegant pearl necklace. My god, when that shot with the doors open to the rooms were shown, I don't even have words for it. The curation of the art on the walls and what are displayed on the surfaces are just absolutely stunning beyond words. I could walk through every part and feel like I had the most sumptous meal. What a breathtaking experience this was! Thank you, The Local Project and Rob Mills for sharing this masterpiece.

    Taking my hat off to the editor of this video! The way you show the different lighting is such an important part of the design 😍
    So many other channels miss this opportunity.
    If somebody described these materials used I would think ”How gaudy” Yet seeing it in person it is such an elegant and soulful home. The architect's skill is definitely showing 🙌

      Peninsula House by Stafford for mine, or one of the Luigi Rosselli projects. Hard to go pass those homes with the amazing scenery, imo of course. So many featured on this channel to swoon over.

    This tour quite literally brought me to tears. Never have I seen such immense beauty and elegance and as he says, glamour, in a space. His ability to evoke such strong emotion through materials and lighting and texture is magnificent. The utter luxury and livability is palpable in every shot. This may very well be my ultimate inspiration.

    Absolutely beautiful and I love his mantra space, light and fresh air! I’ve designed and build a new home here in southern Italy which incorporates these elements and can’t wait to live in it. Its so hard choosing your materials and fixtures with the plethora of choice out there which captures how the space will make you feel.

    As a designer (among other things I do professionally), I can totally relate to that monologue of the extreme difficulty of designing for yourself… without the boundaries (other than the budget, maybe) and scapegoat clients. The options, the wishes… the perfectionism…

The designer implicated so much warmth in a space that could seem too cold to live in, but its warm, light and cozy at the same time. genius, poetic...
