16/3 Tahara Road, Toorak VIC 3142

THE DEAL
Featured on The Local Project, The Design Files and Never Too Small this home is architecturally recognised by its industry peers.

Designed by John William Rivett and recently restored under the guidance of heritage architects, the iconic Caringal Flats is made up of three buildings — the Crescent, the Tower, and the Garage which connect by a series of sky bridges.

Within the tower each level consists of one full floor apartment.
A lift opens directly into your residence setting the tone for what’s inside: calm, contemporary sophistication, surrounded by four aspects that flood with natural light streaming in from every direction framing leafy Toorak vistas and the Melbourne skyline.

Ellul Architecture have delivered something truly special, a renovation that celebrates contrast, soft curved edges and textured white surfaces that meet crisp black joinery and clean lines. Every detail designed to enhance light, flow and function.
The result, a space that feels both expansive and intimate.
The living area with floor-to-ceiling glass is where views become art including a custom joinery console concealing the A/C to maintain a seamless aesthetic.
The kitchen, freestanding blackened stainless-steel units make a bold statement in form and function. Mosaic tiles nod to the building’s heritage, while the deeper bench design accommodates modern living, more storage and space for a full-sized fridge with plenty of space to move.

The bedroom continues the story of thoughtful design, joinery that divides without closing in and raised off the floor to let light and air pass through.
The bathroom is now reimagined with terrazzo floors, mosaic tiles and striking tapware whilst a separate Euro laundry feels cohesive and considered.
Because here, design doesn’t dictate how you live, it enhances it.
Caringal Flats is proof that great design lasts, and when done right, it only gets better with time.
