Contemporary minimalism meets urban style

Located at the gateway between Melbourne’s dynamic cityscape and the tranquil beauty of Gippsland, the Edison 23 by Homebuyers Centre effortlessly marries contemporary minimalism with urban sophistication.

Set against the backdrop of Averley Estate in Nar Nar Goon, this home sets the standard for modern living, offering a refined yet functional design that speaks to both style and practicality.

From the first glance, the Urban exterior makes a bold statement with its monochromatic palette. Dark charcoal brick piers anchor the façade, while sleek, black-framed windows sharpen the overall aesthetic.

Wide cladding offers an elegant contrast, delivering a subtle sense of balance between form and function. The exterior exudes quiet confidence—refined, restrained and perfectly attuned to its surroundings.

This architectural approach flows seamlessly into the home’s interior, where the Industrial Colour Scheme takes centre stage. Thoughtful design choices—contrasting textures and meticulous finishes—create a harmonious, open-plan living experience that reflects a modern lifestyle while embracing a sense of calm.

“The clean lines, dark tones, and urban-inspired exterior set the tone for the entire home, introducing a dramatic yet understated elegance that doesn’t overwhelm the spaces inside,” explains Nadija Saluwada, Homebuyers Centre Display Designer.

Style Meets Simplicity

Inside, the Edison 23 continues its theme of contemporary minimalism with a carefully curated interior. Neutral tones dominate the space—crisp whites, soft greys, and deep blacks—all complemented by natural textures and moody finishes that introduce a sense of warmth and tactile interest.

“Minimalism doesn’t mean sacrificing comfort or warmth,” says Nadija. “Instead, it creates a peaceful, uncluttered environment where every detail serves a purpose. Accent colours are used sparingly to add subtle contrast, ensuring that the home remains calm and cohesive.”

Designed for modern living

At the heart of the Edison 23 lies a beautifully open-plan kitchen, living, and dining space designed to flow effortlessly into the rear alfresco area. This connection to the outdoors enhances the home’s sense of space, bringing natural light and fresh air into every corner.

“The layout fosters a spacious, airy feel, perfect for both relaxed family moments and lively social gatherings,” Nadija explains.

“This is a space where form and function come together, offering a home that is as visually striking as it is practical.” 

For families who love to entertain, the Edison 23 delivers the ideal balance of social hub and serene retreat, with living areas that connect seamlessly to the outdoor alfresco, creating an expansive environment perfect for any occasion.

Finishing touches: Bold, yet inviting

Thoughtfully chosen materials and textures throughout the home elevate the design, with statement furniture pieces standing out against the subdued colour palette. Textured bouclé fabrics bring a cosy, inviting feel to the space, softening the modern lines and adding an element of warmth and comfort.

“This home demonstrates that contemporary minimalism can be both sophisticated and engaging,” Nadija adds. 

“When designed thoughtfully, minimalism doesn’t need to feel impersonal or cold. It’s all about balance—textures, materials, and finishes come together to create a space that feels both calming and full of character.”
