Contemporary victorian

Mim Design expands Adelaide Villa in Melbourne, seamlessly blending Victorian and contemporary styles, while Moroso enhances the space with Patricia Urquiola's designs

The Victorian and contemporary eras come together in the Adelaide Villa extension project in Brighton, south of Melbourne. Designed by Mim Design, the project takes full advantage of the proportions of the original villa and its gardens.

Each room overlooks its surroundings through large windows, linking interior and exterior, light and space.

Some of the furnishings are designed by Patricia Urquiola for Moroso: the Gogan sofa, which owes its name to nature and in particular to Japanese stones polished by time and water; the Pacific sofa, whose enveloping shape evokes the atmosphere of the American west coast from which it takes its name; the Ruff armchair, with its wide armrests; the Clarissa relax armchair; and the Getlucky table armchair, with its harmoniously interwoven seat and back.
