The Local Project - Whispering Dunes
Month: August 2024
Whispering Dunes by Homeroom Studio in Melbourne embodies a refined balance between past and present, creating a serene escape grounded by Made by Storey flooring.
The palette is enriched by a stone selection with heavy veining, bringing movement and depth to the design, and grounding the home in a natural sensibility.
The design approach for Whispering Dunes was deeply influenced by the home’s surroundings. “Given its proximity to a park and the established trees surrounding the property, we wanted to create an immediate feeling of stillness and tranquillity upon entering the home,” explains Romy Dankner, director of Homeroom Studio. The aim was to provide the clients and their young children with a peaceful sanctuary, blending traditional detailing with modern materiality to create a cohesive and elegant space that speaks to both heritage and contemporary sensibilities.
TheEliteSpaces - Whispering Dunes: A modern classic
Month: August 2024
Whispering Dunes, designed by Homeroom Studio, exemplifies the harmonious blend of traditional charm and contemporary sophistication. Nestled in Melbourne, this residence is a testament to thoughtful design and material selection, creating a tranquil retreat for a young family. Romy Dankner, director of Homeroom Studio, elaborates on the vision behind the project: “Our goal was to craft a peaceful sanctuary that marries classic detailing with modern elements, creating an elegant and cohesive living space.”
The original flooring, having worn out over time, was no longer suitable. Homeroom Studio worked closely with Made by Storey to select flooring that provided both character and alignment with the home’s historical context.
Whispering Dunes by Homeroom Studio stands as a prime example of how thoughtful design and material selection can breathe new life into a heritage home. By balancing traditional and contemporary elements, the project has created a functional and enduring space that offers a serene retreat for its residents. This Melbourne residence is a beautiful blend of old and new, where every detail has been considered to achieve a refined and tranquil living environment.
