Two architect-designed townhomes on a heritage tennis-court estate, on one of the most private streets in St Kilda East. The next chapter of a street with a hundred-year story.
In 1923, this land was the Wimbledon Public Tennis Courts, laid out by Charles Bickham. In 1960 the courts were subdivided into a quiet cul-de-sac, and every allotment was taken by a European émigré family who each commissioned their own modernist home. The result is one of the very few post-war enclaves in the area built from scratch, and today it is heritage-protected as the Wimbledon Estate Precinct.
Most developers would have bought the block. We bought the block and its history. Two townhomes that answer the street's stark, rectilinear modernism with the same discipline, then take the interiors somewhere the 1960s never could.
The Wimbledon Estate Precinct sits under the Glen Eira heritage overlay HO239, recognised for its place in the area's post-war cultural history, its collection of hard-edged modernist houses, and its association with the émigré architects who shaped this pocket of Melbourne in the 1950s, 60s and 70s. Building here is a privilege with a standard attached. We designed to meet it.
Two homes, one material language. The same stone runs from island to ensuite. The same oak joinery lines every room. Nothing is generic, nothing is decorative for its own sake. This is the finishes palette shared across both townhomes.
Both homes are off-market. Register and I'll personally send you the full pack before Project Wimbledon goes public.
