Nestled behind a Victorian-era residence, Hidden House is a contemporary sanctuary surrounded by a lush, vibrant garden. This award-winning project, a collaboration between Studio MKN and Eliza Blair Architecture, features warm grey timber flooring from George Fethers & Co’s Ottó collection in XVI Flint and dramatic black prefinished timber veneer from the Lignapal collection in Nero.

More generous than the industry standard, the 240mm wide floorboards add a sense of space and luxury to the home. Crafted from premium European oak, the calming grey timber flooring flows effortlessly from the open-plan kitchen to the sunken lounge, creating a cohesive connection with the Mud Office-designed garden.

The subtle taupe tones and tactile matt lacquer finish of the Ottó flooring complement the home’s carefully curated material palette, which features Fior Di Pesco marble, concrete, and sleek black joinery.

The elegant, textured matt joinery, crafted from Lignapal prefinished timber veneer, enhances the harmonious blend of textures and tones, contributing to the interior’s serene yet bold aesthetic.

Recognised for its exceptional design, Hidden House was recently honoured with the City of Port Phillip Design and Development Award for Best Residential Alteration or Addition. The project has also been shortlisted for the 2024 Interior Design Excellence Awards (IDEA) in the Single Residential category.
