A spacious home in Australia by Robson Rak

Robson Rak are an established, award winning firm who offer you a holistic design service of architecture, interior design, and interior decoration. I noticed many of the architectural firms and interior designers I love work in Australia.

Kathryn Robson, principal architect comes from an extensive working history in Europe and Australia, while Chris Rak is an interior architect. Robson Rak’s commitment is to the design of residential and commercial spaces that ultimately provide the user with a sense of warmth and well- being; spaces that make the user feel good. with this home which they call the ‘Toorak home’ they delivered an amazing job.


A minimal palette of materials was used, steel doors and windows, granite bench tops and floors, and timber flooring and joinery. The selected materials were then varied in texture and finish to create depth. For example; granite was used in a ‘flamed’ finish on the floors, then the same granite was used honed for the bench tops in the kitchen and bathrooms. This limited palette creates a harmonious flow from room to room.
