‘Godsell House’ 491 Balcombe Road Beaumaris Designed by and for David Godsell circa 1960.
Did you miss out on the limited tickets to the inaugural “Beaumaris Modern Open House” event? Secret Design Studio has three, free tickets, which were sold to the public for $55 each when they were available. Due to the high level of interest in Beaumaris Mid-Century Modern Architecture this event quickly sold out weeks ago, so to the best of my knowledge, these are the last three tickets for this event.
In case you hadn’t heard Beaumaris Modern had organised a “unique, one-day-only chance to take a sneak peek inside 5 amazing Beaumaris Mid Century Modern Homes and a church by esteemed architects including Boyd, Baird, Godsell and Mockeridge Stahle and Mitchell”. These are self-guided tours so once registered with your ticket with Beaumaris Modern you are provided the address details, and can make your own way from house to house. Alternatively, ticket winners are also welcome to travel with me if they don’t want to drive themselves.

Secret Design Studio
Secret Design Studio is a small, boutique building and interior design studio that specialises in retro homes of the 1950’s, 1960’s and 1970’s.
Secret Design Studio did a tour with one of our clients today to help with interior design selections for her Dromana beach house renovations and stumbled across this Brutalist/Minimalist “alter” of a stovetop surfaced with Dekton. It was in the glorious Cosentino showroom at 460 Collins Street Melbourne. Under the Dekton work surface is a concealed induction cooktop with three “rings” identified by three small dots on the benchtop. Each ring is controlled by a matching knob on the front face. As it is an induction cooktop the Dekton surface doesn’t get hot. Needless to say, to purchase this breathtaking piece of easy-clean technology (and the Dekton surface), you need a breathtaking amount of money.![]()

For many people, making decisions about interior finishes can be overwhelming. For today's efforts we managed to wrap everything up in under three hours, with samples and pricing, and spared the client the overwhelm.
