Vision
This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity. As the former home of ABC Studios, the site represents a chance to create something truly unique: a private sanctuary nestled within intimate gardens. At every step, the project is guided by a rigorous design approach that we call Creative Development. Following extensive research and consultation with community groups and stakeholders, we arrived at an integrated, sustainable and culturally relevant neighbourhood design that draws on the storied history of the location, complements its surroundings, and retains the fundamental qualities of this incredible site.

Neighbourhood
The Elsternwick Gardens neighbourhood comprises expansive private gardens, hospitality space, integrated arts program and a public park, alongside three distinct residential offerings: Gordon Place, Ripponlea Terrace and The Garden Pavilion. While each offering centres on an individual and site-specific design, all homes are tailored for owner-occupiers and will be built to the highest standard, a quality synonymous with Milieu. Designed as a natural extension of Rippon Lea Estate, the generous gardens are integrated seamlessly with the architecture to strengthen the sense of tranquillity that underscores the neighbourhood’s design.

Gordon Place embodies the sophistication, seclusion and calm of the landscape that unfolds around it. Guided by soft geometry, generosity of space and a neutral palette, these exquisite, light-filled homes frame views to the private expanse of greenery beyond—a tapestry of curated and layered landscaping that will shift with the seasons.

Ripponlea Terrace is a thoughtful series of homes that draws on the layered memory of this historic site. Designed to integrate with the surrounding private gardens and maximise outlook, the interiors centre on natural materials and the dynamic interplay of light and shadow, to create spaces that feel emotive, grounded and immersed in nature.
