A COLLECTOR ’ S HOME

Facing the Black Wall Reach Cliff , MCM combines street appeal and refined interiors . The clients , being avid art collectors , entrusted the design and build of their “ forever home ” to Urbane Projects .
The brief - “ An iconic home , modern , with mid-century flavours .”
Combined with a requirement to create a space for their art collection , the design team behind MCM successfully delivered a home of great aesthetic value without compromising any functional benefits of the home .
“ We can ’ t express enough , our absolute delight having moved into our new home . The design works seamlessly , the quality of the finishes is fantastic and the coming together of both makes for a wonderfully comfortable , beautiful home and a very happy family . Thank you so much .”
Tony & Collette Homeowner - MCM
Keeping in mind the homeowners ’ lifestyle of long-term travel , MCM was built to be low maintenance and is a perfect example of how a luxury home can be “ lock and leave ”.
Artworks of all kinds ornate the interior architecture of this home . From vibrant “ Pop ” art to decadent expressionist art , MCM is a blend of “ iconic architecture ” and “ iconic art ”.
With exaggerated ceiling heights , creating an illusion of grandeur and the space , with extensive displays of art throughout , gives a feeling of visiting an art gallery . This ambience is dramatically enhanced with overflowing natural light , highlighting strategic areas of the home .
