In every great city there are always a handful of iconic homes which seem to really epitomise the style and unique personality of that city. These are the kind of homes that pop up in the press from time to time, that are familiar enough to warrant an inquisitive glance when you drive past them, and more often than not, are homes that belong to people you have heard of – well known and interesting people who run ‘success story’ businesses. I reckon every international city hides a small number of homes like this, and today’s feature would have to be one of Melbourne’s most prominent examples. A home that to many needs no introduction – the Fitzroy family home of Lisa Gorman and Dean Angelucci!
I have got to say, I rarely chase homes that have been seen extensively in the press before. But I’m sure you’ll agree, THIS ONE really deserves documenting here, despite having featured in both local and international mags in recent years! Dean and Lisa’s incredible home, set back off a leafy Fitzroy street with a generous sunken garden in the front, distinctive Victorian frontage and timber modernist-inspired extension at the rear is such a truly special place – and I reckon is a succinct snapshot of the way many Melburnians aspire to live. Ie – in a renovated Victorian home, surrounded by an eclectic edit of Australian art and mid century furniture, and a stone’s throw from great coffee!
‘Boston Villa’ was built around 1863 by William Candy, a stonemason and the first owner of this home. Around five years ago Dean and Lisa acquired the building, and engaged architect and friend Emilio Fuscaldo of Nest Architects to update and extend the home. (You’ve seen Emilio’s own home here).
‘We actually owned the house for about 1.5 years before moving in’ recalls Dean. ‘It was completely decrepit when we bought it. The original intention was to simply renovate the existing house, but after one of the squatters who was living here burnt it down, a re-think of our plan was in order! The eventual renovation by NEST Architects was major - pretty much a rebuild, starting with a hole in the ground surrounded by some, but not all of the exterior walls!’.
The original footprint of the home was expanded, and a children's wing was added for Dean and Lisa’s two kids, Pepa and Hazel, taking place of old stables out the back. Emilio also added a cellar, and a single guest room/study upstairs. Another significant change was a new entrance to the home – rather than enter through the original front door, the front door is via the side of the house, landing visitors straight into the centre of the home, at the junction between the 'Victorian' and 'Modern' halves.
It was a tricky house to capture, this one. As Sean Fennessy accurately put it after our shoot – ‘that was like shooting 4 homes in one’. He was so right! It’s not a scale thing, it’s a style thing… this home happily unites so many different styles and eras under one roof, but it’s a tricky thing trying to tell that story visually in a linear way. Anyway I sincerely hope we have done this place justice, because of ALL the homes we have ever featured here, I don’t think I've ever fallen quite so hard as I have for this one!
Of course, with homeowners like these, it’s no surprise this unique pad is curated to perfection. Dean has been trading mid century treasures for years, though his business Angelucci Twentieth Century, in Smith st Fitzroy. Dean has an incredible eye for furniture and fine art, which coupled with Lisa’s passion for vibrant colour and pattern, makes for a seriously photogenic home, full of unexpected details.
IN ADDITION to sharing their stunning home with you all today, Dean and Lisa have a very special gift for one lucky reader! Dean has offered a set of iconic tableware from Russell Wright for Bauer Pottery USA – a pitcher, two beakers and plates from his store, Angelucci Twentieth Century. This generous gift, pictured below, is valued at $475.
To be in the running, simply leave your comment on today's post before 10.00pm Melbourne time. A winner will be drawn at random and contacted tomorrow! (For extra credit, though not imperative for entry to this competition, Angelucci would love you to like them on Facebook!)
MASSIVE THANKS to Lisa and Dean for sharing their amazing home with us today. If there was ever a home we’ve featured that I truly wish I could just move straight in to… this is it!
Heaven! Such an inspiring mix.
what a delicious home
The master bedroom is gorgeous but seriously where do people put their stuff? Books, magazines, alarm clocks, jewellery, nothing on a bedside table? Love it but I don’t think I could live in a magazine cut-out home, I just like too much stuff.
I am left speechless!
Gorgeous
LOVE LOVE LOVE ! One of my favourite houses ever – I have a whole board dedicated to all the photos of their house on pinterest! It’s great that you included the kids’ bedrooms as I’ve never seen those before. It must be so amazing Lucy to go to these houses which I only see in the magazines! Does it make you inspired or feeling your own place is never good enough? Well done Lucy and Sean! x
Wow, this house just makes me happy!
Makes me long for Melbourne! Beautiful!
Just beautiful!
Oh I love that kitchen, so much light!
Hey Lucy, Another example of the amazing design and construction talent that we have in Australia – along with great materials. Great styling and photography help too!:) Do you know what timber they used in the kitchen? Hope you keep finding these gems.
I wonder what they serve at the Pom Pom Cafe?
A truly delightful insight!
Love it! That kitchen is fantastic – n fact the whole house is pretty incredible.
LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!
When can I move in? Packing now…
wowwwwwwww
A perfect, stunning house, thank you for the peek Lucy! I love their style so much, such an inspiration to inject more art and surprises into our own home.
And thank you for the giveaway too!
I don’t have kids, but I still want a Pom Pom cafe in my house!
I love the exterior!
I love the light fittings and lamps throughout – small things in the overall vivid collection but each with great character.
this is truly one of my favourite Melbs houses and I have often walked passed and stood daydreaming at it. The pretty facade is magic and inspiring. Congrats for restoring it back to its former beauty. Everything about it is pure gorman perfection! xoxox
I have in the past wondered by this home and been curious as to what lies behind. Lovely home, very well balanced, kitchen, bathroom and that Ryhs Lee ink is wonderful. Ahhhhh. Thanks for sharing.
Very, very appealing – just love the kitchen windows and outlook. AND the lounge chairs – look soooo comfortable. Beautiful jug in the giveaway – pick me, pick me :-)
Wowzers I like! The skylight in the kitchen works so beautifuly and the timber chosen throughout the home is just lovely. Not to mention the furniture.
Amazing home! Beautiful pictures. Dream house.
A beautiful modern home with such personal style – Love it!
What a gorgeous front garden. Very clever architects to get the perfect union of old and new. All in the middle of such a vibrant community. Lucky family!
wow. so amazing… and not that surprising seeing that it’s these two!
Great giveaway too. thanks!
I walk past this house all the time and dream I lived there…….
What a beauty! My favorite piece – the leather chair by Jean Gillon (Brazil).
I am in Brazil at the moment and wish I could take something like this home with me to Melbourne!
Thanks for sharing.
My dream home!!!!
Lovely kitchen!!
Amazing x
Love love love, the front fence, Angelucci & Gorman
What an amazing home! I just love the whole ambience. The giveaway is lovely. Love the pitcher – gorgeous!
I want to live there!
great giveaway, just what my Spring entertaining is missing.
Seriously … What is there not to love !!
Stunning home .. Thanks for inspiring and sharing with us
What an absolutely divine house. Really inspirational.
Lov’N this home…
Divine!
Just love it!
Nice work guys capturing an iconic house in new light – not easy!
Coincidentally, there is year old copy of Inside Out mag sitting on my desk featuring the very same home. Thanks to all involved in sharing these lovely images. xx
The lights in the kitchen, the bathroom and that leather chair…oh just gorgeous and in such a cool neighbourhood!
What a dream home! I lived opposite this place years ago in a rambling sharehouse. My friends and I would stand in front of this magical abandoned property & imagine what it would be like to move in & renovate… Never in all my swooning did I imagine anything as wonderful as this! I love the clever design, the eclectic feel, the furnishings & vibrant artwork on the walls. So inspiring!
Design crush on Gorman and Angelucci… amazing!
It’s the homes like this, where both partners are individually so talented that seem to be the most interesting. Nice to see a bit of male influence in a family home too.
What a beautiful, character filled home. I adore all of the natural light!!
Love …
Stunning house. Thanks for sharing.
have seen this gorgeous home before, never fails to fill me with envy! thanks for sharing it.
I agree with Carly, where do they put all their stuff. All the artwork is not functional, but where do all the functional stuff go? Also, haven’t seen a tv in any of the homes features in tdf… don’t these people have tv’s in their living rooms?
Totally amazing. I wonder if they would like a new housemate??
Beautifully detailed!
What a fantastic modern mix! Love the massive windows and particularly the Hollywood sofa.
I think I am in love! Every single piece in this home is incredible and yet, it still looks like a home.
What a gorgeous house! Love the sofa – another place to consider.
We have 2 little munchkins and are just about to move into a two bedroom unit from a three bedroom house- was great to see some serious minimalization (technical term ;-)
Done so spectacularly well !
This shows how to use an eclectic mix of art and history to truly make a house a home. Russell Wright’s pottery adds just another perfect touch. The display of Rhys Lees ink portraits is my favorite!
Not the kind of home I would have imagined Lisa Gorman to live in, but sooo beautiful either way! love it.
Very cool!
What a great home not to mention fantastic pottery!
Just beautiful , love the colours!!!
love
Beautiful!
Amazing!! Such a fantastic mix of pieces but still giving that homey feeling.
I’m definitely inspired!
It’s so nice to see the spaces that inspirational people call home. Glad to see Lisa has taken her love for splashes of bold colour and sprinkled them throughout her house.
amazing!
Cool bathroom floor!
Great home! I have seen this one before but agree it deserves a second look.
Such beautiful spaces in this home. What a great showcase for Australian art and design!
What a gorgeous little garden!
This home makes me weep tears of pure jealously. In a good way. xx
Love these two! And nice to see a few different details of their incredible home captured here. That watermelon/road kill photograph is breathtaking!
Too many things to love in and out of this house. I love the kids beds and the sofa!! Just a gorgeous house.
such a creative couple & great house. looks like they lead a wonderful, creative life. i love the angelucci store.. just had a ph5 pendant hung that i bought a few months ago from angelucci & it’s changed my whole living/dining area for the better. i love it.
Love it! I’m especially in love with the kitchen – so much light!
the simplistic modernity is strikingly beautiful! <3
Coolest house ever!!!!!!!
So fresh and inviting…! Love it.
what a super nice home!!
Love this house – especially the furnishings. Have seen it in a mag before, as you say, but never get tired at looking at it! Thank you – Angelucci is my favorite store and I’m currently saving my pennies for a couple of their George Nelson inspired slimline sofas.
Beautfully stylish, original and inviting! Love the bold use of colour and the way the art work highlights the colour palette in the rooms.
very unique style!
What a talented pair!
mmmm great designers and inspriring home..
Beautiful stuff!
Appears as a fantastic example of great client, interior design and architectural collaboration. The materials and spatial arrangement appear to create seamless connections between unique spaces for all types of living and love of art and design.
I’ve passed by that house a lot and always admired from the street, thank you for showing us the inside. Now I really am envious!
Gorgeous home.. Amazing talent.. Gorgeous giveaway!!
truly amazing… the art, the furniture. love it all
just fabulous – and so inspiring!
Beautiful
Such a beautiful home, and tableware that I could definitely see in mine!
Drool…! So how does one go about creating a home as beautiful and “Melbourne” as this?
oooh aaah….. I frequently get room envy but now I have total house envy. What a seamless combination of style and warmth and liveability. Thank you for the sneak peek into your beautiful homelife.
LOVE! Love the location, love the house, love the ceramics. I could happily imagine myself living here!
light filled gorgeousness…
i walk past and lust after this stunning home regularly.
i’d seen it in a magazine or two but awfully fabulous to see it here!
now i’m lusting the cone chair amongst many other things!
definitely a favourite… kudos to lisa, dean and family.
beautifully photographed and produced.
have just had several table ware breakages, must be a sign!
Lisa Gorman and Dean Angelucci, what an amazing partnership!
i am in love with lisa and dean and their home
Simply lush x
Please open a shop in Fremantle!!!
Beautiful house, brilliant interior and amazing furniture. What an ace place to live.
Beautiful home! Love that it’s full of the unexpected
It’s such a beautifully decorated and fantastically designed home. I wish that it was mine…
I have driven past this home a bazillion times and waited for someone to capture it perfectly! This is just beautiful – exactly how i i dream my home will be, hopefully in the not too distant future. Every nook tells a story every cranny begins another. Just wonderful
Beautiful and classic design! =)
I covet these ceramic pieces, every time I visit their store. Their home is divine!
absolutely gorgeous! x
Beautiful!!
Dean finds the most exquisite pieces. The house is gorgeous – very inspiring for my upcoming renovation!
Nice.
OMG where are those coloured pillows from in the kids bedrooms?? (on the chair and one on the bed in second photo???) x
Eeeek! Hope I am not too late? Love Gorman, love this house and LOVE THE GOODIES! Yes please…
an inspiring home and I love the Bauer Pottery.
Inspirational – just gorgeous!
Amazing collection of beautiful pieces in Lisa and Dean’s home. I can’t wait to visit Angelucci 21st Century and drool over all the yummy things there.
Incredible home – they sound like fun people, too. Great post!
Good things come to those who work hard :)
Love the kitchen!
Beautiful!
loving the pom pom cafe!
Me too (on the moving straight in thing Lucy)
This is a beautiful home, inside and out.
Oh my. They want me to put out some lego to detail my loungeroom!
a more homely and nostalgic version of my other favourite ceramics. love it
boston villa was always my dream home and my heart broke when it sold and it wasn’t to me!
lisa and dean have done a fine job on it and I’m not so upset now…. and they keep me quiet by buying my homewares to decorate it! heehee
I fear that my chair obsession is now worse after seeing this! Also, loving the kitchen lights <3
ooh, love the children’s bedroom!
I love the finishes particularly in the kitchen. Being very natural and textured, the timber looks great against the polished floor and coloured light fittings and artwork.
EXQUISITE …DIVINE …AMAZING … and lots of love abounds in this home.
So lovely. What a great space to live in. Inspiration for our renovation..
Just amazing. Love the street frontage.
Just incredible!!
wow, what a great place. love how the kids bedrooms are for kids but don’t compromise on style.
Impeccable taste! Want!
gorgeous! colours!
Oh!
This too is one of my favourite homes on the design files. Absolutely stunning, every detail is perfection. Here’s to dreaming……
WOW TDF – you’ve done it again – picked out one of the loveliest couples in Melbourne design and shared their beautiful home with us! If they weren’t such nice people you’d really be green with envy…..
BTW – love the italian lamp in the bedroom!
Sweeeeet pad!
Ace! I’m in love!
amazing house!! Inspired
I have always walked past that house and claimed it was my dream house. Wondering who the owners were with there fabulous taste. Little did I know it was owned by my all time favourite fashion designer and Dean Angelucci (one of my favourite stores). Equally as incredible on the inside as it is on the outside. Love it! Thanks for sharing.
extreme love for this house and all things from angelucci xx
Such an amazing place to live your life .
So amazing! And all the Rhys lee’s!!!!!!!
Breathtakingly beautiful – and also completely live-able and real. LOVE this home. It’s a real home, warmth, personality, and just damn aspirational. Two creative minds = one heck of a beautiful home.
Wishing I lived there!
Such A beautiful home !
What a stunning house – such a mix of styles and so warm. I love the dining table and the bunk beds!
how fabulous!
LOVE the kitchen!
Love the pale colours of the give away homewares, for years my mums been collecting me an antique dinner set in the same colours! So would match perfectly :)
So is there a spare room for me?!
simply amazing. i can only dream (and i will!!)
What a stunning home! (and a fabulous giveaway) xo
What a nice use of wood and texture! The kind of home you want to run your fingers on.
What an amazing and inspirational home!
I absolutely love it, my favourite is the kitchen, just perfect! I hope our next home can resemble this… :) Thank you for sharing it.
Such an amazing space! couldn’t be less surprised from such a dynamic pair with a great eye for fashion, furniture, design – love!
What’s not to love.. Lucky Hazel and Pepa!
This is an amazing home! I scrapbook for my future dream home and I am blown away the master bathroom and kitchen tap. Why? The white tiles, single lightglobe and the displaced taps in the master bathroom gives an utilitarian feel, like being in a public shower. The kitchen tap…random, I know…but I like how it stands out, like an art piece.
Thank you Lucy – I really enjoyed this one
what an amazing family home!! i love the splashes of colour
Yet another stunning home and gorgeous giveaway!
Love the use of timber features repeated in the new windows, doors and joinery offset by the clean white walls and other material selections. Makes a great canvas for a fantastic collection of artwork, furniture and decorative pieces to add colour. Great job guys!!
An AMAZING home! So much natural light and fantastic decor! x
Wow, what an uber cool home, theyve done an amazing job
The woodworks is stunning, subtle yet prominent enough to be a feature. Fantastic.
Gorgeous!! I have seen their home before it is spectacular but also humble. Love their style. Love the giveaway too. t’s my birthday tomorrow what a gift that would be!!!!! xx
My kitchen bench doesn’t look quite so stylish but the beautiful water jug would help it on its way.
Colour and light, inspiring!
Coming home to this must be bliss. Gorgeous house and an amazing use of colour – dynamic, yet also serene. Great use of some stunning art too. Love it.
Wow! Beautiful home – so relaxed and livable, but so perfectly put together.
the lighting in that kitchen is brilliant. thank you for sharing your home! xxx
Obsessed with those Urquoiola stools.
What a gorgeous home, first time I had seen it, and simply beautiful.
i walk past this house every week and now i know what it looks like on the inside – thanks lucy, for showing me that reality CAN be better than my imagination!
The light and space created in the kitchen and living area is sublime.
AMAZING home. Beautiful beautiful tableware.
What an inspirational home. Must be so nice to live in. I wouldn’t ever want to go out!
gahhhhhhhhh, does it get any better than this??????!!!!!!!! xx
Incredible! I am off to look up Rhys Lee.
I love everything about this house! No wonder you were blown away Lucy! This home is so stylish and grand yet homely and comfortable, perfect really.
The house, the art, that leather chair…WOW!!!
It’s quite spectacular and shoes how wonderful good design can be.
Those Jean Gillon chairs made my heart skip a beat!!!
Very nice indeed
Not only do I love this house, but also Lisa’s jacket :)
Excellent gift set and what a stunning home. I love the natural light.
Love love love
Just fabulous. I love their choice of artwork and everything about Hazel and Pepa’s rooms especially the beds.
As one of the remaining 5 people in the country who doesn’t have facebook….I would almost join just to ‘like’ you as requested, Dean! Almost….
Lovely home, as always :)
Beautiful house. Can I please ask what sort of wood was used for the panel of doors and windows opposite te kitchen?
Oh we first bought great things from Dean when he first started Plasma …. those were the days !!!
I would like to move in right away too please! Right in the middle of Fitzroy has to be the best location too.
Such a gorgeous home, even without all of the amazing furniture and art the space itself would be amazing!
Wow every room is gorgeous – so inspirational i could look at the pics for hours. well done.
Love Gorman and Angelucci, what a cool couple and great house!!
As if I needed another reason to LOVE Gorman’s latest collection…
I am now obsessed with the home of Lisa Gorman.
the light in the house is beautiful, and the joinery work exceptional, all topped with very unique and desirable furnishings. it would be a joy to live in.
sigh…how perfect…
Don’t do Facebook, but I do have a table for tableware :-) Nice work by NEST as always
This house to me is the embodiment of Melbourne. Cool, classy, beautiful pieces mixed with cutting edge design without the edges. Melbourne doesn’t try hard, this couple have put what they love into their home, and it feels like a home where real people live, yet inspires at every turn. And that exterior facade….! Blessed.
what a beautiful home! it must have been very hard to edit down these photos lucy :)
we walk past this gorgeous home everyday. What a treat to see what lies beyond that fun fence. Thanks.
Loved seeing inside Lisa’s house – gorgeous! And a wonderul giveaway!
Love all the details and the light!
Lovely home, how could it not be, love the façade of the house.
Also one of my faves, thanks TDFs for sharing this stunning home!
Can absolutely see why you fell in love with this house Lucy! Thanks to Angelucci for the giveaway – Absolutely LOVE it – fingers and toes crossed x
What beautiful & sophisticated spaces to live & love in. The kids would have so much fun in that yard! I am in the middle of more humble renos in Lisa’s home town. Will always be inspired by my daily dose of DF!
Wow – lovely home! I love both of their stores – I shouldn’t be surprised!
what a lovely place – full of interesting things…
This home is gorgeous! And what a lovely giveaway!
My fav bits – the 50’s kitchen pendant lights (incredible!) – all the indoor plants, the kids rooms, and pom pom cafe!
I love looking at this house on my way to my favourite cafe! Stoked to see it is just as beautiful inside! swoooon!!!!!!!!
would love to visit their showroom when I’m in melbourne
Amazing house. I especially love the vintage wrought iron kids beds.
What a creative couple! LOVE their home! Definitely inspirational!
How creative and welcoming and family orientated without being smothered in pink plastic rubbish! A true expression of style and substance. No wonder these two have such successful businesses. Makes me Melbourne proud.
One of TDF’s best homes ever
love the house great garden and I would love the blue carpet in the lounge
Amazing, envy-inducing home. Love how you can see that it has developed over time, with the different styles. As for Russell Wright…swoon!
What a gorgeous home! Love everything about it. Such a perfect mix of old and new. Thanks for sharing!
wow love this place. amazing.
The artwork by Rhys Lee is great! Despite really loving such a mix of colour & patten, I was especially drawn to the white tiled bathroom & the simple white bedding. Really lovely mix of simplicity, eclectic art & luscious patterns.
LiKE LOVE LUST !
Am loving all the amazing artworks and the mix of old and new! Must be so nice to come home to each day- total house envy!!
Angelucci – what a legend!
Such a masterful use of colour in this beautiful space!
Divine… there are no words
A beautiful composition of style,furniture,materials and spaces.
amazing colour in the living room rug – just beautiful.
Lovely….
Those Zanuso chairs…. *swoon*
What an amazing house! a stunning job done by NEST and that facade – dreamy heaven! I am also in LUST with the leather chairs by Jean Gillon!! Taste oozes from every pore! Thank you for sharing it again – it will never get old! AND the giveway – wowzers!!
Love the artwork throughout the house and the eclectic choice of furnishings. Great taste.
Great colour.
A stunning home, love the lego amongst all the beautiful pieces in their living room!

Perfection ! Simply beautiful
This is just amazing!

Eclectic, Vibrant, Individual & Young! Amazing Area, Amazing people…… Inspiring…..

AMAZE-balls.
Wow – what a home! It’s brilliant! And what a great giveaway.
What a match! A perfect Gorman-Angelucci blend..
Great balance of style & living … love it!
How I wish I lived there……. stunning
Wow, look at that master bathroom!
So many iconic 20th century pieces, but not in the least precious. Just lovely and liveable. And how perfect is that giveaway? Sigh…
Absolutely amazing place. i am a massive fan of both Gormans clothing and Angulecci furniture and already follow both regularly on facebook, so to put these 2 amazing styles together in the one home is exactly how i would imagine it. it is a warm and inviting home with their own eclectic style. DIVINE!!!!
Love the timber detailing by Nest!
Love how simple yet eclectic their house is. Also, the kids bedrooms, dreamy… I’m inspired!
I find it so interesting when you know of two people separately and place them in your understanding of Lisa Gorman – fashion, bold colour and incredible pattern talent and then separately Dean Angellucci – 20th century furniture enthusiast to which I adore!
But then they surprise you as a couple and what a power couple they are together!
Beautiful home, I agree with you Lucy! It would be my first choice to move in to!!
Can I move in??!!
loving the clothes she designs, loving the art she owns and loving the house she lives in…
Love this place. I want that front fence too. Jessica cushions in kids rooms are form Megan Park home i think :)
She makes great clothes and has a great pad
Love
A mix of all things beautiful, right down to the smallest detail.
What a delight to live in such a home!
Stunning home, thank you for the peek
A fusion of Melbourne’s 18th century history with a smattering of contemporary style and a dash of Aussie culture… it’s brilliant! thanks for sharing
What a great home (and love the Angelucci :))
Beautiful house! looks so light filled! One day I hope to have a house like this…..
What a gorgeous home!
that’s my dream bathroom, looks so peaceful
I always hit up angelucci for a good window shop when I’m in Melbourne. Hanging out for a dining table from there… but maybe not until we’ve had kids, and they’re old enough not to wreck the dining table.
Ah! Those watermelon coloured chairs and tall windows are stunning! These pictures are definately going up on the dream board! x
WOW!!
Always been a huge fan of Angelucci. Amazing.
We still have a few fave pieces in our house from Dean back in his Plasma days in Prahran. Love the Italian red wall light in master bedroom and French standard lamp in lounge and that Russell Wright ceramic set is the bomb!
My husband and I walk past this house most days to walk our dog. We have loved watching it being built, grow and age over the last few years. Absolutely beautiful inside.
Stunning! I adore the kitchen and bathroom and in particular the timber features throughout the house. Congratulations for creating a beautiful, light filled unique and interesting home! I want to steal a few pieces of your furniture!
Such a beautiful home, full of light and natural timbers. The use of colour is tastefully done and used to highlight subtle features of this house. I feel a bit naughty like I have suck into someone house for a sneak peak while they were in the middle of family life – such a homely home.
I love this house. I have walked passed it many times and always admired it from the street front. Thanks for the peek inside!
Love so much about this house! The kids beds are stunning.
Fitzroyalty – at home.
Oh wow. I’ve walked past this house so many times and often stop to admire it! It’s even more beautiful inside!!! Definitely dream home material.
Love the kids bedrooms, and backyard steps – brilliant…
Such amazing furniture, and that street frontage is to die for!
yum yum!
LOVE the Marco Zanuso lounge chairs. That colour! AND the light throughout the house is stunning…makes me happy!
What an inviting, beautiful home. the timber in the kitchen is wonderful.
Way before knowing this was Lisa & Dean’s house, every time I walked passed I thought “I want to live here, this must be the best house in Melbourne” and IT IS! Love, love, love!
WOW!
What a beautiful family home… Love love love!!!
Simply stunning, best house you have featured by far! Especially love the kitchen.
I just love the large wood frame windows in the Kitchen/lounge room… This house is soo going on my vision board!
I want to move in. Love it!
I always walk past this house and admire the garden and front facade, glad to know that it is just as beautiful inside!
love the portrait in the master bedroom!
This is such a beautiful house, and I love how Lisa and Dean have incorporated so many indoor plants into their home. I must take a leaf (ha!) out of their book.
love the art work, amazing
Melbourne’s best power couple!!
Nest architects are amazing !!
Love there work (:
siggghhhhh!!!! beautiful!
Looking at this makes me think I need to go through the archives her eand find some more inspiration to make sure my home represents me and my personality in the way this one does for it’s owners.
Ahhhh now it all makes sense! The house that I’ve admired for years and often drive past on my way to work, just to admire the outside, and wonder what it looks like inside! Thank you Design Files for taking me inside and Lisa Gorman, Dean Angelucci and your architect for creating such a landmark! Love it!
Their home gives off such a lovely feeling in my heart. Such personality! I love it and have major house envy!
Wow, such beautiful and simple lines. I loved this house tour :)
Nice place.
Of course their house is all sorts of perfect. The front is just beautiful, and the interior is eclectic heaven..
I love this project by Nest Architects.
Incredible artwork – quite a collection!
What a clever couple…love the bathroom!!
Such original and confident style… just like her fashion label…. Lisa Gorman is truly a stand out Australian talent!
A gorgeous home and an inspiring couple!
I would also love to move in immediately!
What an amazing house!
Love! But I wouldnt expect anything less from this couple.
Wow, so beautiful!
Pastel ceramics and a beautiful home, love it.
What a gorgeous house, all the chairs are just fabulous!
Absolutely inspirational… now excuse me while I go and ‘minimalise’. What a stunning selection of pieces in Lisa and Dean’s house. I’m happy to make room for the divine tableware though!
Amazing furniture- love the Angelucci store.
love the kitchen, side entrance and rug
There is not one piece of furniture / art / homewares that I would not have in my home – absolutely stunning!
Oh how beautiful! Such style!
how have i missed this on all my walks through the streets of fitzroy? its so amazing and i’m so completely jealous of their space!
I have wandered past this home on so many occasions and thought about what the inside must look like; well now I know and it’s better that I ever imagined! Oh to have those Marco Zanuso chairs …
Great house! Will never grow tired of mid-century modern!
Loving the contrasting wooden tones in the master bedroom between the Hans Wegner chair and the panelling on the walls
I’m going to make a screen print today reading, ‘My other house is the Gorman Angelucci house’. Sigh.
Absolutely Beautiful!
I love the natural light! Lucky ducks!
Such a lovely home, thank you for the visit!
very inspiring!
Love all of it, especially the light filled kitchen.
Wow! What a treat. Thanks for sharing
Gorgeous home! Gorgeous giveaway! Please pick me! x
I went to Angelucci one lunchtime from work and it was like a walk back through my childhood. Fascinating!
Just lovely – sophisticated and colourful and “lived-in” all at once. That kitchen is the kitchen of my dreams.
Wowzers! This home makes me both happy and sad…My semi-detatched slowly-sinking-into-the backyard-house in Preston just isn’t cutting it! Loads of inspiration though, great stuff guys!
No surprise that the lovely Lisa Gorman would have such a beautiful home. So much colour combined with history!
whats not to love…
I love the privilege of seeing what lies behind closed doors! Gorgeous photos :)
I love the whole house but especially the bathroom for its simplicity and clean lines and the kids rooms full of colour. An inspiring couple. Thanks for sharing.
I have walked past this house many times over the years and was very happy to see if saved. What an amazing result. A beautiful home filled with the owners personality. Also love the tableware!
Lovely!
Wow wee Lisa and Dean, this house is fabulous. I love all the art works and use of colour and neutrals.
Wow…beautiful house, absolutely love the Road Kill still-life digital print photographs by Marianne Drew…
Oh my gosh – I look at this house all the time = dream home!
Such an amazing house, you’re right Lucy, one that I think many Melbournians aspire to! I walked past with a friend one day and said ‘Lisa Gorman lives here’ and who should step out the front gate? Lisa Gorman, How embarrasing! ha ha
What gorgeous big windows and a lovely balance between the inside and the outside. I would have liked a sneak peek inside Lisa’s wardrobe! Lovely giveaway. I have my fingers crossed!
Has Lisa and Dean’s home been featured before? I love it then and I still love it now.
Love it al!
What a lovely home. It’s designed without that coldness that that sometimes creates. I particularly love the use of colour.
love at first sight.
so captivating!
What a gorgeous house! So very Melbourne. And what stunning tableware, if only I could have it all!
great home!
Wow what a lot to take in. I will have to keep having a look at this during the week. Love the timbers used in the kitchen cabinets, and the touches of colour throughout are wonderful.
Cilla rule
Thanks for sharing this Melbourne treasure. It’s great to celebrate lives and things that are inspiring and beautiful. Love all that light pouring into the kitchen.
fingers crossed for the Angelucci giveaway
Love love love
Love it!
Wow! Such a beautiful representation of you both!
There is a room for every mood! I’m lusting after the light and the exquisite artwork throughout. A home for the ages.
Beautiful! Perfect mix of the old, modern and quirky. Truly Melbournian.
LOVE IT ALL! WANT the blue pitcher. The sunken garden is amazing. What’s not to love about this home
Love the natural light coming through what a stunning home
Love this house – the bathroom makes me swoon!
These kids can swing both ways design wise – fantastic!
LOVE! especially those dining chairs, wall lights and floor lamp, my dream furniture!
colourful, creative, inspirational living spaces. just heaven!
Oh my gosh! Speechless !
Love love love the front paving
What a great house. Love it.
This home has the perfect balance of comfort, style and personality. A beautiful and contemporary home, thanks for sharing!
What an amazing sunken front garden those stone paver’s are beautiful!!
beautiful home, love all the artwork
Oh stop it Lucy! I am really going to die with envy. This IS the best hands down….
Such an amazing and inspirational house! And my mum would absolutely love the Agnelucci homewares for her birthday!
(p.s. liked on facebook!)
Gorgeous mix so in love with the bathroom !
Oh their house is so lovely! What an impressive pair, following their dreams.
Oh my. So much to salivate over, but THOSE WINDOWS! And they have Nest written all over them: superb choice of architect.
Oh yes please – breathtaking house AND homewares!!
Inspirational home!
What a beautiful house!
Oooh, ten years ago I saw a Russel Wright exhibition at the Cooper Hewitt in NY and I’ve loved his stuff ever since!
What a great place. It really is beautiful whilst still appearing very liveable. Awesome.
Stunning home with lovely natural light. Thanks for sharing!
It’s à beautiful home and what strikes me is thé generosity of Lisa and Dean to continue sharing it, welcoming TDF in for us to enjoy and be inspired by. Thank you.
beautiful house, so many interesting details!
i adore the ‘Last Minute’ stools by Patricia Urquoiola, and i do need them – from where can i get them ?
wonderful home
Thank you for this feature on Dean Angelucci and Lisa Gorman’s house. Their home is just beautiful – so much light, so much style, but also some welcoming. What else would you expect from one of Melbourne’s most stylish couple! I want to move in straight away.
I love the Nest kitchen and the lights. And the Russell Wright ceramics!!!!
So much RIGHT about Russell Wright!
yes please!
great couple. great house! i wish i could see a plan of it!
I want one (house like that), and tried to get the architect to help me out but budget does not permit… such a bummer. At the least having the accessories could be a start! Would be very grateful to have the ceramics in my not so desirable home.
Understated with beautiful materilality and georgeous objects.
Nice work! Love the mimih spirit standing in the kitchen.
Community housing in the background, that’s really inner Melbourne. Such a contrast of priviledge.
Gorgeous home and unbelievable style
Wow – nice, Nice, NICE!
What a gorgeous home! Full of so much personality, style and love.
And Russell Wright ceramics what an absolute delight. Have scoured many a New York flee market for some but with no luck…just a book! I saw such a great exhibition of his work at the airport in San Fran a couple of yrs ago. Quite a random location but really great to see, just beautiful.
Living in QLD it’s aboutthe LIGHT – lovely house.
Ergh, so stunning. I love that it looks like the house is a home, and not a catalogue. So much heart!
Love all the light.
really enjoyable house, the work of nest is fantastic.
…I want to go to there!
some many amazing details!
Fabulous doesn’t even begin to describe how you must feel living in such a gorgeous house?! Great story.
great, great stuff and an awesome giveaway to boot – win, win
Another inspirational home – thanks! the art, the chairs, the plants, the stonework outside… so many fantastic ideas from such cleverly creative people!!
Wow. Great Style.
Oh my! I would just die if I won this! :) x
Truly one of the best we’ve ever seen. How can we ever live up to this?
Wow…. what an amazing home! And an amazing giveaway!
Such a gorgeous space to come home to.
We are just starting to draw for our renovation and extension – I love love love the timber and glass wall in Lisa and Dean’s kitchen, no … actually, I love everything in their home. Thanks for the inspiration!
Love the house, quite inspiring. Love the prize. Now to like on fb
Please go back, I need more pics,I just had the most enjoyable cup of tea looking at this stunning home!
Amazing! Truly the quintessential inner city Melbourne home. Just beautiful :)
oh my. this is divine. plus we have the same name so i should definitely win!
Love pottery!
Great layout! It’s always interesting to see how an individuals personality comes through and shapes the space of a home, really cool :-)
This house is actually one of my all time favourites! I was searching for it only last week on here and couldn’t believe my eyes when it popped up today! Best ever!
Love the house, love the shop, love the clothes …and of course love the ceramics!
That kitchen is fabulous – I think it would even inspire me to want to cook! Beautiful house.
Amazing house, love the pottery!
Oh, the house is wonderful, and I would love to be entered into the competition. Thanks!
I can only dream of having a home this amazing! I’ve never felt such home envy before. Definitely taking away a lot of inspiration from this :)
A very inspiring mix gorgeous home indeed
oh my, it’s gorgeous! love all the unique touches :) x
I adore that cubby house.
what a beautiful and interesting home – love the children’s rooms
What a beautiful home!
This has really brightened up my day!
WOW what an inspiration!!! Such a perfect mix of beautiful materials and gorgeous accessories. A stunning home:))
Ohhh so stunning, but what would you expect from such a talented lady, love love love!
Amazing house – especially love the bright and airy kitchen!
Major house envy. Love the retro 70s vibe the kitchen gives. Reminds me of the house my dad designed and built in the 70s. Something so warm and inviting yet so cool about it.
Gorgeous!!
I would so LOVE that jug!!!!!!
I always wondered who owned this beautiful home as I wander by it after grabbing a coffee at De Clieu. The thick beam fence has a beautiful ‘moving and playful’ quality to it I love.
What a stunning house! Why doesn’t my room look like Pepa’s?!
And what a super cool jug that is!
Modern, crafty, elegant and sophisticated, yet still warm and comforting! Absolutely gorgeous!
I feel truly lucky to be given an insight into the house of Lisa Gorman!
Not only is it filled with mind blowing beauty, but reassuring to know that the work she produces through her spectacular garments is also reflected in the interior of her home.
<3 x
Amazing home, amazing art, love it all!
Gush! What a home… and a couple.
The house, the clothes, the furniture – all gorgeous! Congratulations!!
How wonderful. And inspiring :-)
Those leather chairs… DEAD
Wow. Amazing place, love the art
Lovely! Would loveeee to win! about to move house and would be PERFECT! :) XX
Amazing! I wish I was born with just a fraction of the creativity and artistic prowess of Lisa and Dean. What a beautiful and happy home.
ALWAYS been my dream house. they are amazing.
Just beautiful – every element – every light and every piece of furniture. Thank you very much Lucy for giving us a glimpse into this stunner of a home!
I love everything about this house!
A stylish, yet comfortable space for the entire family. I especially love the bright pops of colour in the children’s room, what a happy and fun space to be in. Gorgeous home.
Incredible leather hammock/chair. Incredible everything, really!
such a lovely warm home!
I always wondered who bought that house..! And what an amazing job they have done of keeping the best of the old combined with wonderful bright and open modern design. Love it. And love the Baueur Pottery – that would look fab in my kitchen ;-)
Gorgeous home :) thanks for sharing xo
What a lovely home, everything just works.
Such an amazing art collection and so cleverly showcased with great balance.
There have been some truly excellent homes on TDF but this one is on another level. Designer furniture, but not the obvious pieces, seriously good art, rare and interesting plants, beautiful materials in the kitchen…… There is a lot going on, but it is put together in such a lovely understated way. What a beautiful feeling of simplicity and calm! Thank you for delivering a Masterclass today.
Talented people with a gorgeous house. Thank you for sharing your home.
Beautiful! *sigh*
What a stunning, beautiful and carefully considered home.
Those leather armchairs are to die for! What a beautiful home!
I love it! I remember when Lisa first started Gorman and have followed every new season of amazing outfits since. Great to see her families beautiful house.
Love Love Love! Beautiful and inspirational xx
YES!
Beautiful home – love the textures and colour pops inside and out. I’d love to live in a home like this (assuming it has awesome storage as everything is so neat and tidy!)
Does anyone know where they get their rugs from? I love all of them but especially the one in the lounge room. Would be grateful for any inside knowledge…
I thought I knew what my dream kitchen looked like, but I didn’t until today.
Just divine.
Just the kind of home I daydream about owning one day!
Gorman is one of my all time favourite labels, mainly for its individuality, use of amazing patterns and bright, pop colour. I’m not at all suprised then, that this house – with its styling by Gorman and Angelucci together – looks as amazing as it does. The kids rooms are my favourite, especially the revamped wrought iron hospital beds. Question if you are able to answer: are Pepa and Hazel’s hexagonal pillows a Gorman number? Where might I find one? And is Pepa’s quilt by ‘Kantha’?
ps. I’ve “liked” your Angelucci page for extra credit ;)
What an absolute dream house – I love the huge windows in the kitchen & the bedroom…Inspiration central!
Fantastic home, thanks for sharing.
lisa and dean just look great, the house matches them to a T!!
beautiful home! thanks for sharing x
an inspired home from an inspiring couple.
Such a beautiful and livable space
WOW!! what more can be said … ?
Love, love, love, Such gorgeous details. Let me know if you ever need a housesitter!!
OMG that is all
Its the perfect combination of impeccable and beautiful design with a obvious personal touch from both their lives. So much envy for those with homes like this.
How utterly perfect!
Looks great!!!
Understated and balanced. Such a beautiful homey space.
I love the use of timber through this home. Also love their taste in chairs!
LOVE gorman, LOVE their house
two lovely creative people sharing an amazingly designed space – which is (surprisingly) still very inviting and authentic. very inspiring!
Utterly gorgeous.
I would love to have so much natural light in my house, just beautiful! And the frontage… sigh, I love it!
Great to see your full set of pics Lucy. Thanks for sharing, and the prize looks lively too
Am brilliantly green with envy…unashamedly so!
Dream home alert!!
My favourite Australian home from Australia’s most talented designer.
Just lovely – funny that i tumbled across Angelucci Twentieth Century only a few days ago – and here he is popping up again
Wow! Such an extraordinary home. Gorgeous but not overdone & you can tell that it’s a happy family space.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful – my hat goes off to Emilio for his gorgeous work, and to Lisa and Dean for maintaining a starkly modernist aesthetic with two kids running around. Hell, I only have the one and it looks like a tornado has ripped through my house!
Love the Children’s beds!
Ooohh and ahhhh
Love the mix of old and new – functional on every level and great looking too!
Divine!
Simply put an incredible space! Effortlessly styled to perfection, this home reflects those who live within.
Something to aspire to!
The bathroom makes me feel well showered just by looking at it! I love it,
So trendy. Screams out Fitzroy!!!
well, i loved it. i could live there in a heart beat. the textures and colours, the little nooks with different moods. The only think i didn’t like is that i now have house envy and have to concentrate on not letting the waves of jealousy take me over. I’m guessing the bauer pottery might help! :)
Any chance you would like a lodger???? I have a family, but I can always visit them at my house! You have my details now!!!! :)
Organic but still modern.
What a dream.
Never tired of seeing this house! Magical.
I am dying with jealousy.
amazing- love all the details in the house, especially the jug!
This house it absolutely stunning! This house exemplifies why I love Melbourne!
That bathroom is dreamy! Lovely house!
Love your home! The mix of old and new reminds me of my childhood home in Sydney
gorg. great photos sean!
i think this is my perfect home…
Incredible mix of art, natural woods and amazing natural light! A dream house for sure.
Such a beautiful workable home! Fabulous warm kitchen, gorgeous bathroom and such a beautiful garden. Very clever couple.
Would kill for that amount of natural light in my home!
I love the random-cohesion and effortless beauty of this home – it definitely takes a creative heart to pull off something so impressive! Wouldn’t have expected anything less given the owners. I have been left inspired!
Some beautiful pieces, exactly the style I want in my own home. Stunning. A lil’ envious ;)
I’ve lived in Australia for years and have recently moved to Melbourne. I seem to have still had this chip on my shoulder from living in Vancouver – often scoffing at the brick houses of Melbourne that all looked the same. It only took a few entrances into the homes of people I met to fill the chip in – permanently! Homes like this make me appreciate the old soul that Melbourne is. The homes ooze with personality, telling different stories. Everyone has a unique story, and they tell it so beautifully. This is the perfect example!
Nowadays, I see the homes of Melbourne like I see books – some of the covers are the same, but the stories and characters inside will leave you longing for another book, another story.
What a lovely home!
I have worn Lisa Gorman’s clothing since her first store opened in Melbourne many moons ago… I find her aesthetic really suits my personal brand to a tea. Its wonderful to see into her home, and again enjoy that positive, creative aesthetic that she shares with her family and friends – creating a home which is comfortable, fun and incredibly well thought out. Nice one.
A seriously cool and inviting home… love the kitchen tap! And that fireplace – wow!
Love this home – and love everything Dean has at his store too, always something there to tempt me!
I should be writing my thesis not looking at these pictures, but they are too stunning.
gorgeous mix of design in a home that looks like it is loved and lived in! pom-pom -acino’s in the pom pom cafe perhaps? Hx
So perhaps it was a blessing in disguise that the squatters all but burnt the place down? A very inspiring makeover of a heritage house, I am about to tackle an old cottage in Freo WA and I hope I get it as right as these two have!
Absolutely stunning place… One day, one day mine might emulate their home!
Ridiculously stunning.
Devine, love it
I actually walked past this house the other day and was super impressed not only with the facade and recessed garden but with the fact that the house is clearly used and loved. Beautiful photos of a proper family home.
Love love love it all
This house is ridiculously good looking.
such a gorgeous home!
There is such tremendous warmth – in the material palette, the furnishings, the people! Beautifully captured!
My dream kitchen! Love the wood.
Here is another article about this amazing home!
http://www.dwell.com/articles/Glazed-Old-Fashioned.html
Awesome! I love the glass wall in the kitchen/lounge area :)
What a magnificent home and the talented homemakers seem so lovely & down to earth! Just beautiful thanks Lucy!
I would expect nothing less than this level of supreme gorgeousness! Thank you for sharing, Your home is truly inspirational.
Thank you for this story, I really enjoyed it! Your abode is very cosy!
I could easily have loved this house without scrolling through your photos, as I’m a huge fan of Gorman clothing and eclectic furniture arrangements. But, having had a looked, and scrolling back up for another look and read…I just want to move right in! What a spectacular home.
I knew the old man who used to own this house! He was a distant relative. Love the transformation.
So gorg!
It’s always amazing to have sneak peaks into the private lives of the aesthetes!
I love the shot of the garden path and couldn’t we all wish for a pom pom cafe out the back! Beautiful story as always. J x
THE MOST INCREDIBLE BRAZILIAN LEATHER CHAIRS I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE! WHAT A FANTASTIC SPACE…
Beautiful house – looks like somewhere I would be more than happy to live! And lovely tableware!
Totally fab!
What a creative space! I have had my eyes set on the Hollywood sofa for a while now and this makes me want it even more!
So many beautiful homes, they may look very different to mine, but they give me inspiration on how to style my own home.
Yes please!
Such an inspiration – the light flow, eclectic mix of furniture and colours relect such a refined elegance.
I have serious house lust……!!!!
Incredible iconic couple – thanks for sharing your world.
Stunning. Just simply stunning.
What a wonderful space! I love everything about it, – such a great collection of fabulous stuff!
Just an amazing place! Wonderful
Relaxed, loved and lived in. Beautiful home.
An amazing house for two amazing people!
a truly stylish home that reflects its occupants so well!
For some reason I’ve giggling thru this post and day dreaming about being invited for dinner! it is such a weird home in the nicest possible way.
So typically Melbourne. Sums up their eclectic style in stunning form.
I’ve been walking past this house and dreaming about it for years.
drooling!
Love this home. Awesome timber kitchen and lots of great colour!
Great article Lucy! Gorgeous home and a real inner city treasure. Just like it’s owners! It’s bright, beautifully styled, light and airy. When can we move in?? ;-)
Great inspirtation!
Beautiful and inspiring! You really can have fun with your home. I loved the art, all the colour perfectly doted about and wow pom pom cafe was tres cute!
That is my dream kitchen… along with the Russell Wright tableware ;-)
A beautiful, eclectic, light filled home. Rather love the bathroom.
Amazig house, so many gorgeus colours, textures and intresting artwork and features. I particuarly loved the kitchen with its wooden/industrial feel, & the kids cubby was a great element to include!
heavenly house, just beautiful!
Angelucci I “liked” you on FB weeks ago!!!! :)
Not only is the house a dream, imagine the wardrobe! *Swoon*
Simply stunning. So nice to see a house that does not stick to Melbourne greys.
What a stunning house, love live love the pom pom cafe too x
That is THE most beautiful glass wall I have ever seen.
I love a home with personality. This one is a delight!
Beautiful, such lovely style.
Amazing
All that glass in the kitchen letting in the light is stunning . I love this home !
Gorman and Angelucci, what a perfect combination! Hugely inspirational! Thanks for the article Lucy and Sean.
Love Lisa and Dean’s home and style. Just like her clothes it has a touch of easy, simple, liveable yet stunning.
AMAZING!!! Can I move in too??!! :)
I’m so full of envy right now!! Not a very nice emotion, I know! BUT, hopefully it’ll morph into inspiration:)
Such a delightful home – so lovingly and thoughtfully designed without stuffiness.
Dream!
N
total dream house !x
Love it! What a gorgeous home , particularly love the touches of blue throughout!
Those windows are beautiful!
I never get sick of seeing this amazing home, and it’s nice to see some new snippets I haven’t seen before. Just beautiful!
amaze home!x
Wow! Every room has amazing style, if I could get one room of my house to look that good I’d be a happy girl :)
Gorgeous.
Is it possible to be “in love” with a house???
Love the light in the kitchen
I’m with you about moving straight in!
Great eclectic feel to a beautiful home.
Absolutely beautiful home. Fantastic inspiration for our next build!

I used to live in the same street, so great to see inside this house I’ve always walked past and admired.
So in love and jealous!
I would love to move in here. Truly beautiful style and two very talented people…
A beautiful home!
I love seeing artworks in other peoples houses- such a fun mix here!
What an incredibly talented couple…your home is truly inspired.
I would like to pop down to the Pom Pom Cafe for a cup of tea.
Love that bathroom.
Love everything about it – inspiring collection of artwork, furniture and design!
Loving all the colour pops! The lounge is my fave then close second is the fantastic windows lighting the kitchen. Thanks so much for the generous giveaway. Crossing fingers and toes!
Amazing home! Lisa Gorman is fantastic
I can see why this is one of your favourite homes. I think you did a great job capturing it.
Looks incredible, so much to love!
This was always going to be good. Very good.
Absolute home porn. I’m drooling.
Such beautiful and personal spaces. I always dream of having a full wardrobe of Gorman clothes, now I can add the dream of living in a space like this!
noice…
c’est chic
That kitchen. Big big love.
I love Wednesday! Thanks TDF for some serious eye candy!
I live on this street and am totally in love with this house!
OMGOsh …
Gorgeous home; love the ceramics.
Amazing home with loads of interesting details. Love the green tap ware.
What is there not to love about this home … Home envy at its best
The bathroom breaks my heart! I need it in my life.
Beautiful home!!
Beautiful home and a gorgeous crafty couple!
Wow!!! What an amazing house to wake up in every day.
bland..ugly…messy house…NOT !! :) so warm, light and character filled – very inspiring.
As I confront the thought of moving home to Australia after two years in Sweden, this is another gorgeous reminder of the Australian, and dare I say Melbourne, aesthetic that I can look forward to embracing. Colour, light, sun, humor, ease. Thanks for the peak into such an inspiring space!
dean is a babe
Beautiful and liveable!
Elegant,classic,beautiful
So Beautiful. Would not be hard to live there. I especially love the Marian Drew prints in the Dining Room. Stunning.
I just adore this house! It is so seamlessly stylish, vibrant and homely. Thank you for doing a tour, it’s great to finally have the opportunity to see inside this Fitzroy iconic home. I wish I could decorate my own home by Angelucci Twentieth Century.
Love the kids beds and the airy light filled kitchen!
All that was missing was a peek inside the cellar (!) – but with a such a wonderful family and home, who needs wine anyway!
Such a beautiful home!
What a beautiful home … Thanks for the sneek peek … Wow
Love it all but omg love the bathroom … Simply stunning
This is a gorgeous home, I love how they have fused such different periods and made the most of the remains of such a beautiful Victorian home. I love Gorman clothes and love the Angelucci store, and didn’t have any idea they were connected in some way! But mainly – all the gorgeous chairs!!! Cannot get over my love affair with chairs.
How amazing to see my both favorite designer and blogger joining together !! love it <3
ooh, love the pottery, would compliment my ‘new’ mid-century dining set nicely!
forgot to mention, have liked on FB too!
What a beautiful and ‘lived in’ looking home!
Serioiusly stunning!! Not only an amazing furniture collection, but an incredible art collection too!
Simply stunning!! xx
love it all! ….the house ..the give away…it’s all good!
Absolutely love this house. We are renovating at the moment and this house has been our inspiration since the beginning. It’s just AMAZING. My favourite room is the kitchen, the heart of the home
As Lucy said, I wish I could just move in! Gorgeous home and beautiful pottery! :-)
utterly lovely. My dream x
Great home, falling in love with Fitzroy all over again….
Yay life!
oh my giddy aunt. the house and the tableware… i just cant fathom owning a home that beautiful.
Love love loveeee, wouldn’t expect anything less from these two.
Oh my goodness me! What a heavenly home.
Your photos always capture the personality of the home – not just the furnishings.
just wow! what a beautiful home
I second lizzz, it’s all gorgeous – whats NOT to love about this!
ah may zing house. … and super giveaway … would love to win
My bags are packed. When can I move in?
Absolute stunner! Loving all the timber in the kitchen and the timber wall in the master bedroom!
Amazing…
I have walked past this house many times and wondered what kind of fantastic people must live behind it’s walls. One of my favorite ever home tours – great work Lucy and team!
Love it! Fab. Great, natural style. But then I wouldn’t expect anything less.
Completely enchanting… for grownups and for kids! Such character and so personal. Love it.
what a beautiful house!
Love it all … Stunning … Major home drool
great house & giveaway!
This is tempting enough to make me want to move to Melbourne!
If I can’t have the house… I’ll have the table settings! Love them both.
I have always been a fan of Angelucci, and love the Bauer Pottery. Elegance and practicality all wrapped up in one.
WOW!!! What an inspirational haven – I am totally in love with every inch of their abode. How wonderfully generous of them to ofer such a gorgeous giveaway – I have my fingers and toes firmly crossed!!
I love this house!!! It is a rare blend… stylish, edgy yet relaxed. Totally leading the way yet timeless… It is providing me with lots of inspiration for my own upcoming renovation!!!
Lisa and Dean’s house is gorgeous.
This has to be one of the most beautiful homes i’ve seen featured on TDF – and there have ben a few!! I am paticularly in love with the Italian Wall Lamp and Rope artwork by Dani Marti in the master bedroom – I know what i’ll be dreaming about tonight…..
so dreamy, love love love!!!
I’m with you Lucy, would love to move in today! Love the use of glass, space and style. With those two at the helm you can’t go wrong. How generous of Dean to offer a set of iconic tableware from Russell Wright, probably my only chance my home will have a piece of their’s!
oh lisa gorman, you’ve done it again! i keep seeing her everywhere! in broadsheet, here, and i even bought a lovely dress from gorman yesterday in anticipation for some sunhine! i was shocked to not see more colour in the home but it is magical none the less. also love the Road Kill art by Marianne Drew, where can i find her work?
LOVE Gorman!
Omg – this is like a dream house! I always browse at Angelucci but have never purchased. The Baeur pottery gorgeous.
Inspirational, Sensational, Motivational! My darling wife has been on at me for months about finally completing all the little half finished jobs I seem to have left around our house – perusing these images has spurred me into action. This weekend i’ll be doing my best to get all those little tasks complete – being proud of your home means alot and Lisa and Dean have every reason under the sun to be proud of their pad! Winning the giveaway would be grand – imagine presenting my wife with that gorgeous prize and getting the jobs completed – she won’t know what’s hit her!!!
Yet another gem – I never tire of the glimpses into beautiful homes that arrive in my inbox from The Design Files – keep them coming!!
I didn’t know i needed a pitcher until just now.
wow. so amazing… and not that surprising seeing that it’s these two!
Great giveaway too. thanks!
This is the kind of home I often dream of living in. It’s not hemmed into the conventional. It’s a family home without being a play house; and it’s a place to share art and the things you love without being a museum. It’s quite obviously lived in and loved. Plus, it’s in Melbourne (the greatest city this side of New York).
Offically my favourite too! The perfect mix of old and new.
Two of my favourite creative people and you did not disappoint! I have just brought a new house and can’t wait to use this house as inspiration. Hopefully the budget will stretch to a shopping spree at angelucci 20th century. Just brilliant!
sooo many things to love about this house – thanks!
Beautiful light and a great transition between old and new!
What a beauty!! I love, love, love IT!!
such lovely light, and beautiful use of color. colour
Great Melboure home!
I lived two doors up from this house for many years… when the house had been full of squatters with no running water or electricity!!! I am absolutely gobsmacked at the transformation!!! Astounding!
Absolutely gorgeous .. Ohhh to live in Fitzroy in this type of home .. One can wish!!!
I’m free Tuesday for dinner Lisa & Dean if you’re cooking!
Could lisa be any cooler?? Mega crush…..
SUPERB – love it!
Love love love, so much talent! Would not expect anything less. Xxx k
my favourite home tour TDF has ever done. without a doubt!
What a gorgeous home! I love the brass beds in the kids rooms.
all the more reason to become one of those success-story business people then!!!
This has to be my favourite home featured on TDF to date! I love, love, LOVE it! As you said Lucy, a perfect Melburnian home! I keep scrolling up and down on these pics wishing I could have a home as effortlessly beautiful, cosy and uber stylish! *sigh*
Gorgeous home but I have to agree with another comment, where is all the “stuff”?! No books! No kids toys! I realise this is a photo shoot but still! Having said that, I would happily live in this natural light filled home…would happily swap houses!…I’ll just clutter it with all of my books and “stuff”!
ooo just the inspiration for my upcoming melbourne holiday ..
Have to admit, I have a serious case of garden envy!!
My favourite house to peek over the fence at in all of Melbourne!
great to see this bit of history re invented- well done nest.
I live nearby to this amazing house and I always wanted to know what it looked like inside! So beautiful! Great taste!
Love it gorgeous
And they are really nice people in real life!
EXTRAORDINARILY beautiful home. Such an inspirational creative pair. Thank you for sharing.
Gorgeous, welcoming, understated, Melbourne home. I love Angelucci 20th Century and hope that one day some of these fine pieces are rotated through to the store…oh well I can dream…
I love this home no matter how many times I see it, but this was a beautiful shoot of it!
You’re right – a house we’ve seen a lot of – but cannot get enough of! :) x
It’s all about the kitchen bench and stools. I would live at that bench.
Ouch, my heart hurts with desire for everything in this house!
lovely mixed and really a great inspiration!!!!
It makes you want to take a step inside and relax in the delightfulness of the whole house!
Favourites are the amount of natural daylight in the home (kitchen especially!), the hexagon-shaped cushions in the kids’ rooms, the cubby house and the garden steps… actually, I think I love it all. <3
I love that picture in the first photo.
Great house love the kitchen.
Great, original style that looks lived in and not ‘styled’.
Such a gawgus house and a gawgus giveaway too, love the colours. xxx
This house makes me want to weep. So stylish and artful. I love it.
Amazing. Sean’s photos always capture the spirit of a place.

I am so thrilled to see that one of my favourite houses in Melbourne is owned by such an inspiring couple who clearly cherish the privilege it would be too live in such an iconic home.
I always wondered who owned this home! I used to walk past when it was a boarded-up wreck! So stoked you have given me a peek inside! Thanks TDFs.
I Lust You Too! Especially those gorgeous leather chairs from Brazil
Thank you for showing me more pictures of their sickeningly beautiful home. I am so filled with envy that the only thing that could ease my suffering is pottery.
Beautiful abode x
How lovely. I wonder where they got such perfect sculptural plants from? My favourite it has to be the wood feature wall in the bedroom, adds so much warmth and texture to a room that would otherwise look quite cold I think. Stunning home :)
AMAZING! All of it, windows, light, chairs, art, Lisa’s hair, I could go on and on and on…
Just one question? How do they feel that everyone knows where they live?
beautiful ceramics, would love to win !
I love the kitchen and lounge area with all the beautiful natural light streaming in. Each room is character filled and unique. I also love the front facade of the house. I was just visiting melbourne over the weekend and was lucky enough to visit angelucci; what a fabulous store!
I’ll I can say is WOW!
Wow! A stunning, inspiring home. Impressive.
Light, colour and beautiful timber joinery and cabinetry – a perfect mix.
Wow! the house is beautiful!! Lucy your finds are so amazing, I’m loving the homes. Wishing this one came with a virtual tour too. What have I missed? what’s on the other side of the bed….. Hungry for so much more. Lovely post. Thank you.
This house captures Melbourne’s urban glory so perfectly, i walk past it often and it truly does leave you relishing the ‘good life’. Great gardens, glass and light, warm textures, beautiful quality materials and finishes and minimal fuss and fanfare.
Goddess fifties fun ceramics. Give me more!
What inspiration! And to take a tiny piece home with me? Heaven!
Love, love, love.
Always wondered what was behind that fence!!
These two have such awesome taste. Love the natural light in the kitchen.
I think Hazel’s room is my fave!

So much inspiration, so many fab rooms, and ideas.
An inspiring home of sublime beauty
What a gorgeous home! Love the white and wood combinations.
Wow talk about amazing! Serious home, furniture and lifestyle envy.
Stunning home. Gorgeous big timber framed windows. A great source of inspiration!!
Dream house. No question.

Purdy !
Absolutely stunning . love it .
Lust is an under statment
I love this house because it’s perfect. By perfect I mean that it’s perfectly conceived, a perfect reflection of the owners’ lives and passions, and it’s perfectly relatable. There are real people living there who have chosen to have both beauty and usefulness and it’s just plain inspiring. Thank you!
Can I please move in?!
So excited! have been wanting to see the remainder of their creative duo’s home since seeing a glimpse in Melbourne magazine years ago. amazing!
One of the best kitchens I’ve seen, love the wood cupboards.
lucky last?
You’re right about it being like 4 homes in 1. Love how it all still harmonises.
Wonderful. Love the wood, & the art is gorgeous.
A house full of character. Love the kitchen with its big window, stool and pendant lights.
GREAT selection of chairs. Also love the big windows.
Love it…particularly a fan of the ‘pom pom’ house! My kids would love that! When can I move in? ;)
Looks just like our future renovation ;)!!!
OH my gosh – I absolutely adore this home. So creative, colourful, minimal and eclectic all at the same time. And I love all the Rhys Lee artworks!!
I am also in the club of people who have occasionally walked past, and remember the house when it was “unoccupied”. There is just something about the place and it is amazing to think that it was neglected for so long… Looks great, and nice to see a house full of life again.
totally fabulous………..every room left me spseachless
Amazing! I’m totally in love with the light filled kitchen, it is just what I would love my kitchen to be like [in my dreams], and Pepa’s bedroom….oh my!
What a home! What a style powerhouse couple!
Exquisite! Thank you for sharing your beautiful abode – what a dream to live in something like that in the absolute prime of Melbourne!
The juxtaposition of the material palate against the sun drenched living spaces is absolutely stunning! especially loving the timber veneer used throughout.
Absolutely divine! So nice to scroll though on this (finally) beautiful Melbourne spring day :)
In love with the House..full with Details ..love it ;)
Great architecture and Interior decoration thoughts put into this Home
Love all of Deans stuff… Keep up the good work with the blog…
oh I know this giveaway has finished, but felt I had to comment on such a lovely place. Two shining lights of Australian design, how could you not love their house?
Oh! I have walked past this house so many times – and now having seen the inside, am even more in love with it!
My husband and I are currently searching for the perfect piece of art to go in our newly painted and tarted up bedroom. Hillariously I am beginning to learn that the man I adore actually has some pretty different design ideas to me!! when you see homes like this that are so perfectly curated and slung together with such a happy ecclectic vibe it gives me great hope that our ying and yang tastes in art and design could infact be a blessing. This stunning home rocks a random astehic so perfectly. oh to be so cool x
What an absolutely gorgeous and inspirational home – I’m in love with it all…such a beautiful sense of style!
Most inspiring (and awe inspiring) yet!
What a combination of talent! I love Gorman clothing and Angelucci is hard to beat for mid-century design.
What an amazing home – a great showcase for Angelucci 20th Century. So much inspiration. Thanks for sharing.
Wow . . . Beautiful home. So inspiring
Stunning! I especially love the mix of lighting. Beautiful.
I got to see parts of their beautiful home in real living and loved getting to see it again. Their home is a great source of inspiration. I’ve been looking at chairs like the one in the master bedroom and can’t wait to have a bigger master bedroom to fit it in
OMG – I love this house, the interior is amazing with so many TDF’s!
Beautiful!
How amazingly inspirational!
I’ve just moved into a new house with my partner and we’re constantly fighting about the aesthetic of our place. He loves brown (and that’s about it!) and I love bright pops of colour mixed with neutrals. Seeing these pictures has giving me loads of ideas of how we can mix our two styles harmoniously!
“that are familiar enough to warrant an inquisitive glance when you drive past them”….so beautifully put. Reading that article was by far the best 10 minutes of my day! Thank you Lucy. xx
Beautiful home as always. Love the kitchen.
gorgeous…
Nothing but style. Love the Gorman style. Nothing like it in Aus. So inspiring.
Gorgeous family home for a gorgeous creative couple! Love the light and the playful elements.
Green with envy…
What an amazing home!
WOW……this is the home in my next life.
A truly unique and beautiful house in the care of truly creative owners.
Engaging, Nurturing, Light, Individual, Gregarious, Hallowed, True, Enriching, Now… ENLIGHTEN! These words encompass all that I perceive in this enlightening home and thereby my eyes are opened to it and new possibilities for my home.
Love the windows. Love everything but the bathroom.
Do you mind if I quote a few of your articles as long as I provide credit and
sources back to your website? My website is in the very same
area of interest as yours and my visitors would definitely benefit from some of the information you provide here.
Please let me know if this alright with you. Thanks!
I cry.
This is literally the most beautiful home I’ve ever seen in my life.
Beautiful place, love the beautiful floor to ceiling windows from the kitchen. Also love the stone steps, wish I could put some in my garden!!!
Like many others who’ve commented, I’m impressed by the window joinery. Can you tell me who you used for fabrication? (I’m an architect, always on the hunt for good craftspeople)
Thanks

Do you know if you can purchase the ’Last Minute’ stools by Patricia Urquoiola from anywhere in Melbourne?
Fabulous art work….fabulous everything! Full of the things that make me feel happy; light, colour and comfortable living done with unselfconscious style!
I such as the invaluable facts you give inside of your reports.I’ll bookmark your blog website and take a look at again listed here repeatedly.I’m quite certainly I’ll understand a great deal of new stuff most suitable listed here! Superior luck for your following!
I was walking down this street today when I spied this home, now behind a little greenery at the front. I peered through the gate to see strange looking chickens and what looked like an amazing home. I knew it would have to be online, and here it is. Just as I thought, it’s a beautiful conversion! Well done.
It is all lovely,we have 2 couches from Angelucci and have them admired all the time
