Past meets present in this charming family home in Australia

Ildemere is crafted for modern, relaxed living. Lande Architects reimagines a 130-year-old Edwardian home in South Yarra, Melbourne, as a serene urban retreat, where the kitchen is the centrepiece. Striking a balance between heritage charm and contemporary ease, the design introduces a light-filled extension anchored by a refined kitchen.

The kitchen is designed for openness and ease, with a seamless flow between cooking, dining and outdoor spaces. A pared-back palette and integrated V-ZUG appliances support a calm, clutter-free environment – inviting effortless movement. In this zone, everyday rituals feel considered and intuitive.

“It’s a kitchen designed for both everyday ease and elevated entertaining – a space where hosting feels as natural as unwinding.” Lachlan McArdle

Discretely integrated into the joinery is V-ZUG’s CombiCooler bottom-mounted fridge, next to a vertical stack of the CombiSteam V6000 45 and Combair V6000 ovens in Platinum Glass – making it a streamlined, highly functional hub, while a VacuDrawer V6000 brings added functionality. The whole setup allows for smooth transitions between preparation, cooking and hosting for precision performance alongside an elegantly unobtrusive presence.
