Our Approach to Architecture in South Yarra

Davidov Architects has extensive experience in successful single and multi-residential projects, including new builds and renovations across the sought-after suburb of South Yarra.

South Yarra, one of Melbourne’s most prestigious areas, offers a lifestyle defined by its cultural backdrop of the Melbourne Art Precinct, the winding Yarra River, and the serene Botanical Gardens.

When working in this leafy suburb, understanding the local character is essential. South Yarra’s unique charm is evident as classic Georgian mansions sit alongside diverse modern architecture, with homes on its many hills vying for unobstructed views of the city skyline or the Dandenong Ranges.

While South Yarra is renowned for its grand residences, developing on smaller land parcels demands a deep knowledge of the regulatory and planning systems. This is particularly crucial for heritage-listed properties. Our expertise in these areas allows us to maximize the potential of each site, crafting innovative and enduring architectural forms.

Why Davidov Architects?

When designing new homes or reimagining existing ones, we strive to capture the distinctive energy and spirit of Caulfield. We draw inspiration from the local architecture, vibrant high street, and community-focused amenities, as well as from the best examples of minimal architecture and interior design.

Our architectural approach is refined and restrained, focusing on solid, unadorned forms and natural, durable materials. This ensures that our projects harmonise with their surroundings and stand the test of time. A key element in our designs is the use of courtyards as planning devices, which help ground our projects in their context and create a sense of scale differentiation.

Throughout each stage of a project—whether it’s concept design, design development, tendering, or contract administration—we maintain close collaboration with our clients. This process ensures that the architectural and design solutions we create are not only distinctly ours but are also deeply aligned with our clients’ vision. Our commitment to high-end residential design includes a strong focus on sustainability, working with our clients to achieve expectations for durability, low maintenance, and seamless integration of modern technologies.

We are proud to have completed several notable projects in Stonnington, including the LSD Residence, LSD Residence II and Martin Court Residences.
