The architecture for Kurneh Place updates the classic London mews style for its context of contemporary South Yarra.
Rob Mills
At Kurneh Place, RMA was given the opportunity to create a collection of modern apartments that take cues from traditional English mews residences and the traditional green oasis of the nearby Royal Botanic Gardens.
The scale of these apartments matches the scale of this residential pocket. Set back from the main streets of South Yarra, Kurneh Place embraces privacy and security, with carefully placed glazing to bathe the residences in light. A cobblestoned garden retreat with sculptural forms is surrounded by greenery and neighbourhood views.
The form and textures within the interiors are one with the exterior architecture, creating a singular experience and a natural flow, a hallmark of RMA. With curved walls, healthy materials, considered acoustics and a constant connection to nature, these residences are about living well.
