- 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.

This channel is the gold standard for architectural videography. Taking notes! Such an inspiration
This is not just a house, it's a work of art!
love listening to this guy, talks like a poet and his voice makes me want to keep turning pages
He could talk in Apple products commercials, he sounds like jony ive❤️
Stunning design and what a wonderful gentleman to listen to explaining his rationale. Glad this calms him and fulfills his own brief
In the language of design you are a true polyglot.
3:44 it's amazing how light can change the atmospehere and the edit looks really cool
I LOVE that he focused on bringing in the sunlight and using non-toxic materials
The mixture of his humility and creative genius is truly refreshing.
The internal river looks so awesome
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.
When someone appreciates where they live, that's amazing. When you're your own Architect in that space; that's a true blessing!
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.
the way the rhythm of the lighting match the beats of the soundtrack. that's so satisfying. 4:46 - 4:55
This is one of the most beautiful designs ever imo
Wow this house is stunning! I love love love the fact that he used only clean and non toxic materials within the build. That should be the way of the future. Out with the materials that make us sick and affect our health. Well done
As an artist, that channel has been more inspirational than some courses Ive taken, books I own and, some museums I've visited. This creation is brilliant in many, many ways. Thank you sincerely.
Wow! Now that’s how you talk about a home!. I love it every bit of it
Wow absolutely stunning. Really the world’s best homes are built for architects.
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.
This is why I became an Architect. I can’t wait to design my own home one day!!!
An excellent piece of Art. The owner has built haven on Earth.
Wow! The brass sold me!
One of my favorite RUclips channels ever that I didn't expect to love!
This is why I love Australia!
Thanks Local Project!
The house is wow ! and I really like his talks so much!!
Good lord it feels like this architect is baring his very soul, the brass and stone work are exquisite, especially how capture and reflect light
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 🙌
The cinematography of this channel is so good. It'd be appreciated if Local Project lists its soundtrack.
His voice is incredibly soothing. Truly an excellent therapy for my heart, mind and soul. 😊
A real project with very good details. Good Luck
Extraordinary design and peaceful voice! So lucky to encounter this notable series!!!
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.
That videography is fantastic, it fits perfectly with the architect's tone and narration. And that soundtrack alone makes the whole production visceral. Kudos to the team!
Wow... a serene and peaceful environment that visibly nourishes the human soul 👏🏼
In my own envy, I look at luxury living homes with contempt and pretentiousness. This home is truly a work of art. It is expressive in its design, and ethos
I love this house so much. So beautiful
Wow that looks so nice. and the BRICKS, OMG
breathtaking-voluminous yet enchanting, every space within is a jewel
Rob, rarely am I emotionally moved to the degree that I was watching you talk about your Armadale Residence.
My gawd. I love this. This is my idea of a perfect home.
Absolutely brilliant home. That brass kitchen... Wow.
This actually brought tears to my eye, its just so beautiful. Well, well done sir!!
I think this is your best video and house yet!
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.
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.
Absolutely top-notch design! The way this video unveils its conceptual idea is beyond exciting. Mastery of camera and audio,
what a breathtaking space, i think its the best i have seen. How wonderfull would it be to see it in real and go through the rooms and feel it. 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...
Non-toxic!
Love that!
Because your home shouldn't poison you!
Delightful 💕 thoroughly enjoyed looking at this house details while listening to his ideas.
That staircase is a piece of art 🤩
Excelente paleta de materiales. La combinacion de madera y cobre es muy buena.
Wow.... the hidden functionality! Love the aesthetics too.
This has got to be one of the most beautiful homes I have ever seen.
He sounds like the Giorgo Moroder of Architecture and Interior Design. Love it.
Absolutely gorgeous. That water feature....
Love this! The house has a great feel to it and the architect seems like the nicest person!
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…
( nice shot with the turning chair! )
Superb! So individual, artistic and refreshing. It must be heaven to live in such a unique and healthy space.
truly Beautiful! Thank you so much! What an amazing channel. So well made! And the music is very fitting. Its almost like a meditation. Thank you truly!
Beautiful and captivating.
Absolutely stunning house. The kitchen area is to die for.
This video of the house made me ugly cry. I wish I could experience the physicality of this space, in real life. Such an alluring house.
Gorgeous work of the architect 😍
Rob Mills is a genius. And you gotta have to be a genius to be a successful Architect.
I’m so surprised that I absolutely love this, being that I am no fan of gold tones. What a stunning and beautiful execution.
Magnificent. Well done Rob.
Such a beautiful home and fantastic commentary to accompany the vid.
It’s a good ass design ... specially like the drama in kitchen.. golden vibe stunning and love all those art..
The filming and editing is superb. 💯
i love the house and the owner thank you
The study and the Brass are my favourite.
Absolutely stunning 🖤
Amazing feature once again. And I believe this house is on the market :)
One word. Stunning!
Beautiful home.
Gorgeous!
Great review, amazing space! Thanks for sharing
Stunning edit & music Selection to accompany the humbling information that was broadcasted.
Kitchen is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Whoa...PoMo, I like it! I met Aldo Rossi in Genoa in the 90s - reminds me of that!
Breathtaking
Wow, just wow 😍
This is absolutely stunning. Minimal and modern but completely inviting. That is so difficult to achieve.
This is truly awe-inspiring. I'm really impressed and actually quite moved by how tasteful, creative, but absolutely liveable this home is. So well balanced and fun.
The staircase👀😲 you nailed it
Extraordinary! Beautiful. To the designer architect, the front fasade is reminiscent of a building in nyc that dates back to the 1890s a factory converted into an event space now called the foundry LLC ny
lovely gentle voice
The editing of your videos really translates the atmosphere of the house into visuals!
Beautiful
Amazing Vision!
How lovely 🥰
Fabulous and bold interior! Great job.
I screamed when i saw the gold kitchen😍 !!! I
Very well filmed and edited... loved it!
WOW. So incredible.
so so stunning!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh Only my tearscan express how i feeel about this place😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
This is beautiful 😍.
Excelente explicación de los detalles 😀
This is seriously cool❣️
What crew films and edits these videos?? Like secretly, are these being done by Quentin Tarantino and Spielberg or what? LOL. The music and the shots together create this dance of emotion. This one really highlights the crews skill 👏 The lights in his English study to the dramatic music and the window being opened in various ways whilst the chair is spinning is just a masterclass in videography. Superb, truly. 🙏
I could go to sleep just by listening his voice.
Lovely😍😍😍
