The Project
Villa Rosa is a contemporary yet timeless family home in Melbourne’s inner suburbs. It is a contemporary family home with southern European charm, designed for light, colour, and panoramic views. This four-storey residence balances comfort and adaptability for a growing family. The design highlights rose-coloured quartzite in the kitchen and living areas, complemented by white polished plaster, oak flooring, natural linens, and European oak veneer joinery. The result is a luxurious, understated atmosphere with a seamless flow.
