Exploring The Design Of A Minimalist Apartment With An Iconic Kitchen
For the design of a minimalist apartment in First Light, a new Melbourne development by DCF Property Group, interior designer Léo Terrando looked beyond the usual tropes of Melbourne apartments to “really do something different. I started with what I do not like in a typical apartment - too many finishes on the floor.” After discussions with a local stone supplier, Terrando opted to cover the entire apartment floor with the beautifully nuanced Pearl vein-cut travertine stone.
It’s a clear signal that First Light skews different. Located in South Melbourne, with stunning views over both Albert Park and the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria, the 26-storey building comprises 44 luxurious apartments and a Nu by YOO hotel. “I love the name First Light,” says Calvin Huang, founder of DCF. “It brings a lot of firsts to Melbourne.” This includes the first Oceania hotel by Philippe Starck’s YOO hotel group - with a restaurant by Scott Pickett - and the first Miele Matte Black appliances to be installed worldwide. “Having the restaurant underneath means you can have this wonderful cuisine, pre-cooked, then bring it up to your apartment and put it in the ovens. This is what we want to deliver with First Light.”
Léo Terrando was the perfect choice for the design of a minimalist apartment that also exudes luxury. In the pursuit of excellence, Terrando - director of one of Australia’s largest interior design firms and with more than two decades of experience - examines not only the meaning of premium quality but also the conventions of luxury design. First Light is the triumph of unique, thoughtful expressions over the expected.
Inside the home, a contemporary fireplace and cocktail bar form two of the most uplifting functional elements, set within view of a comfortable study with a dark timber wall. The distinction between communal spaces in his design of a minimalist apartment - including a chef’s kitchen - and private spaces is created by the entryway: “We’ve got a … chef’s kitchen on one side of the apartment while on the other side we’ve got all the bedrooms.”
In the kitchen design of a minimalist apartment, luxury takes the form of integrated Matte Black series Miele appliances and a system by iconic Italian design brand Boffi. Designed by creative director Piero Lissoni, the Combine Evolution Island enables residents to select and arrange function modules according to their kitchen needs. A cleanly minimal piece, the worktop showcases a bevelled edge that turns inwards and seamlessly integrates an induction cooktop.
“The MDI surface is a man-made stone and it has a great sustainable message because it’s [created using] a lot of recycled products,” says Edwina Withers, director of Boffi in Australia. It combines with the integrated Miele appliances to create a “tailored, elegant and unique look.” In line with the rest of the design of the minimalist apartment, the kitchen’s colour palette is intentionally restrained to foster a relaxing ambience.
Evidencing the great impact of the thoughtful design of a minimalist apartment, First Light is experienced not as an accumulation of objects and finishes but rather as a tranquil luxury home. By taking time to analyse and test the ruling ideas of the industry, Léo Terrando has crafted a residence that justifies its premium status.

What do you expect from Mr Avocado himself :D
Is wabi sabi in the room with us right now??
I'm in awe of this project. Never have I seen a building that's designed to interact with people. What a great idea.
My poverty is hurting, it's gorgeous😭
I know exactly the feeling 😂
Every beautiful art has a beautiful story to tell. 🧡🧡
I love the design but the untreated concrete always feels depressing to me
Blum’s involvement and their commitment to quality and family values add a special touch to the experience. Looking forward to seeing more from this spectacular event!
We couldn't agree more!

Even if we are few compared to the viewers of The Local Project channel I would love to see more of these releases around events. Brilliant work on both of your channels! You have had quite an impact on our latest house project :)
Thanks for the support! We're glad to hear it 🙌
The first time I saw the Eames lounge chair, I immediately began crying and throwing up and pissing and shitting myself. While I do not believe my mortal body can survive sitting in it, I have made arrangements to be buried with one. Perhaps, just perhaps, you can take it with you.
Really nice
Amazing!!
This is not at all a historic Irish bar. It is a very recent fit out of an old building so that it looks like an Irish bar. Everything you see, except the stone walls, is brand new.
Everything looks modern and efficient untill you see you need to jump over bed to look on window 😵💫
The passive cooling technology in this building is amazing - a true pillar of the Melbourne skyline for many years to come. Nicely done to all involved!
We're glad you enjoyed this project 🙌
Amazing project, great architectural exterior building and luxury interiors.
We couldn't agree more!
What is sustainable about this building? The plants?😂
Yep glass, steel and concrete. Sustainable
I get that Australia is a few decades behind the rest of the world in sustainable building (this one being a great example of mid 70's passive solar pseudoscience) but it is absolutely ridiculous to claim that a glass, concrete, and metal monstrosity is somehow "carbon neutral" full stop, or even close to carbon neutral in operation. You guys cover some beautiful buildings but this level of greenwashing is shameful!
Amen to everything you said lol 💯
How absolutely stunning! Will happily fly across the pond to NZ to experience this and purchase my carpets from the team <3
We're glad to hear it 🙌

Wow man

Amazing home amazing location. Why do people compare melbourne with sydney. Its a trillion to nil. I have lived in melbourne 52 years we have nothing like this

Hi last saterday i had the displeasure of dining at ur sydney rest i ordered whiting all i got was a huge white plate on it were 2 pieces of whiting and absolutely nothing else the waiter poured some oil on it and that was it the fish was bland withe absolutely nothing to give it any flavours i cook whiting at home a 1000 times better than u presented what a waste of money shame on u re ted
Nothing special
lol - I've never seen anything as beautiful
Nice building. But we did not get to see enough of the inside of the unit. What are the bathrooms like? What do the bedrooms look like?
left me wanting more too
This is incredible!!
All great ideas and looks fantastic. However, if I’m being devils advocate: what was the building built out of? I’m assuming concrete? To truely be sustainable designers need to think about the embodied carbon of a project and begin to use materials such as CLT (cross laminated timber) for the shells of apartment blocks this size. Even ‘green’ concrete (which isn’t readily used in Australia) has an enormous carbon footprint. Just something to think about for future builds

Another interesting feature in The Commercial Project series. What a location. And how well the building blends into its surroundings. Dovetails superbly with the existing buildings and Sydney surburb. Yes, aimed at the Luxury market yet works. Thank you for the insight.
Very nicely done.
