Melody House | A Contemporary Mid-Century Modern Home in the Southern Highlands

Melody House is a considered architectural transformation that distils the spirit of mid-century modernism into a contemporary family home grounded in place, purpose, and longevity. Inspired by Richard Neutra’s iconic Kaufmann House, the design draws on principles of simplicity and spatial clarity, values that resonated deeply with the client from the outset. Located in the Southern Highlands, the home responds intuitively to its cool climate, gentle light, and distinct seasonal shifts, shaping decisions around orientation, materiality, and connection to landscape. Family life sits at the heart of the design. Spaces are carefully zoned to support both connection and retreat: shared areas are open and fluid, while private spaces retain softness and seclusion. Natural light is calibrated rather than simply welcomed, with seamless transitions between inside and out creating a generosity of volume, outlook, and airflow. Music plays a defining role in the home’s identity. A dedicated music room supports focused, intimate practice, while the scale and acoustic treatment of the living spaces ensure sound carries with clarity and warmth throughout the house. Elsewhere, harmony is expressed more quietly—through texture, proportion, and the evolving relationship between the home and its landscape across the seasons. With the landscape ever present, the interior palette remains warmly restrained, allowing the colours and moods of the Southern Highlands to become part of daily living. Melody House is designed for longevity: modernist in foundation, timeless rather than nostalgic, and built to evolve alongside the family who calls it home.
