Located in Glen Iris, this residence explores the intersection of solidity and softness through form, tone, and light. The interiors are defined by strong material gestures by way of monolithic stone forms, dark timber, and softly rendered plaster balanced by moments of lightness and transparency. A sequence of curved corridors, framed views, and layered thresholds connects the spaces, creating a sense of calm movement throughout. The interiors continue this architectural language with a focus on proportion, shadow, and tactility.

"We had a fantastic experience working with Michael Welgus at Studio Welgus. Michael is an incredibly talented interior designer with a strong and highly refined design sensibility. He has a remarkable ability to create spaces that feel calm, sophisticated and deeply considered, while still being practical and highly functional. From the beginning, we felt confident that we were in very capable hands. What really stood out was Michael’s ability to understand what we were trying to achieve and then take it further. He brought clarity, creativity and a very sharp eye to every part of the process. The end result felt elevated in every sense—beautifully resolved, highly intentional and far better than we could have imagined at the outset. He was also a pleasure to work with throughout. Professional, thoughtful, responsive and detail-oriented, Michael made the process feel smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. We would highly recommend Michael and Studio Welgus to anyone seeking an interior designer with genuine vision, taste and professionalism."
