Private Home
The Pianist
Essendon, VIC, Australia
The Space
A substantial Californian bungalow on 840 square metres in Melbourne’s inner suburbs, where a well maintained Federation facade gives way to a rear garden of genuine depth and character. The Pianist is a property that reveals itself slowly, the white weatherboard and terracotta roofline at the front, and behind it a sequence of outdoor spaces that shift from covered deck to vine draped pergola to lap pool and manicured lawn, all enclosed by a dense green hedge that keeps the entire garden completely private.
The covered deck connects the interior to the garden, providing a casual dining and entertaining environment that works across all weather. The lap pool, framed by glass balustrading and the green hedge backdrop, adds a further distinct outdoor shooting environment within the same property.
Inside, the home retains its period character across generous family living spaces — a well proportioned, light filled interior that complements the drama of the garden without competing with it.
