Gibbon
Lower Plenty, VIC, Australia
The Space
Gibbon is a beautifully restored Modernist home nestled in a serene mid-century enclave of Lower Plenty, just moments from Eltham and Montmorency. Surrounded by lush native trees, birds, and local wildlife, this architectural treasure offers a unique blend of original design and contemporary comfort, making it an ideal location for film, television, and brand campaigns.
Originally built by renowned builder Fasham Johnson, the home sits among a significant cluster of mid-century residences, including works by celebrated designers Alistair Knox and Charles Duncan. With its elongated layout and thoughtfully oriented east- and north-facing windows, Gibbon is bathed in natural light from dawn to dusk, highlighting its clean lines and timeless craftsmanship.
Inside, the home features handcrafted timber windows and doors, mid-century furnishings, and crisp white walls paired with updated flooring that respects the home's modernist heritage. It offers two spacious bedrooms, each with its own full ensuite—wool carpeted, curtained, and complete with a toilet, basin, and shower. A north-facing balcony extends from the living area, offering tree-lined views and a sense of connection to the natural surroundings.
The living room is a cozy yet stylish retreat with a luxurious 3-meter-long couch and a high-quality projector setup, complete with access to major streaming platforms. Adjacent to the kitchen is a generous alfresco dining space, perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or play—rain or shine.
A dedicated study with original built-in shelving adds charm and practicality, while a spacious downstairs studio and separate basement area provide additional creative or living zones.
Family-friendly and welcoming, Gibbon is also set up for small children. This modest yet striking home offers an authentic mid-century experience with an abundance of comfort, charm, and sunlight—an exceptional setting for your next production or creative project.
