The Coach House
Exact restoration and quiet symbolism
400 Albert Street, East Melbourne — A sanctuary of quiet refinement within an East Melbourne terrace. Key features include a private sauna and steam room, a monolithic marble pedestal basin, and an expansive activity room designed for intentional, considered living. The open-plan living space is defined by architectural order and sculptural mass, a spiral stair introduces classical reference, while the kitchen and dining zone is conceived as built form, with marble integrated through symmetry and restraint. The overall mood is one of quiet, enduring opulence.
Casa Della Carozze is an exercise in both exact restoration and quiet symbolism. This is not a home that reveals itself immediately; it demands critical observation to fully understand its layered architectural narrative.
Every spatial decision is intentional. The internal program moves with purpose through a highly resolved kitchen, formal living and dining spaces, and an intimate secondary wine room. Upstairs, the primary suite is anchored entirely by its context, commanding direct, uncompromised sightlines to St Patrick’s Cathedral. Beyond the main residence, the property’s namesake—the original separate coach house—has been entirely reimagined as a dedicated wellness retreat and private sauna, grounding the estate’s historic truth in quiet, modern function.
Kelkap is currently progressing a new boutique residential redevelopment opportunity in East Melbourne — one of Melbourne’s most prestigious and supply-constrained inner-city locations. The project follows the same proven investment approach utilised across prior Windsor and Albert Park developments.
