Ormond Residence featured in The Local Project.
“With Ormond Residence, ALESI Group reimagines a heritage Californian bungalow through refined craftsmanship, creating a light-filled, contemporary family home grounded in detail, materiality and continuity.” words by The Local Project
Ormond Residence has been featured in The Local Project, recognising ALESI Group’s considered restoration and extension of a heritage Californian bungalow in Melbourne’s south-east.
The editorial highlights the project as a refined dialogue between past and present, where the original frontage is carefully preserved while a contemporary rear extension and new upper level introduce the scale required for modern family living.
The Feature
The feature speaks to ALESI Group’s commitment to craftsmanship, continuity and detail-led construction. Throughout the home, natural light, tonal materiality and refined spatial planning work together to create a residence that feels calm, grounded and enduring. From the sculptural staircase and light-filled living spaces to the garden, pool and layered material palette, Ormond Residence reflects a measured approach to contemporary residential design.
As ALESI Group’s first published feature with The Local Project, Ormond Residence marks an important milestone for the studio, positioning the business within one of Australia’s leading architecture and design platforms. The recognition reinforces ALESI Group’s growing presence in the high-end residential market and its focus on delivering homes shaped by precision, care and long-term quality.
