The vibrant home is for sale by Sam Hobbs and Justin Reed of The Agency.
This 1920s classic St Kilda residence has been beautifully transformed behind its original façade, delivering stunningly vibrant and colourful interiors with a thoughtful architectural reinvention.
The property was renovated by acclaimed architects Kennedy Nolan, while further enjoying a redesign and refresh by Doherty Design Studios in 2018, becoming a finalist for a number of design awards in 2019.

Sam Hobbs told WILLIAMS MEDIA, "The brilliance of the home lies in its architectural heritage that created such clever, usable and aesthetically desirable spaces, both internal and external."

This allowed us to create cohesive and vibrant spaces that honoured the original renovation by Kennedy Nolan in 2000. Overall, the home feels fun and retro, contrasting beautifully with the home’s heritage” Mardi Doherty, Director Doherty Design Studio told WILLIAMS MEDIA. “We absolutely loved working on this daring project and look forward to the next chapter of this dynamic home”
