This exceptional Melbourne inner-city estate is a showcase of collaboration, vision, and meticulous craftsmanship. A seamless partnership between the client, architect, builder Cobild, and Wilmoore Allstone’s master stonemasons brought this ambitious project to life over three years of dedicated work.

At the heart of this estate is the breathtaking limestone detailing, most notably the 100 intricately carved columns that define its architectural grandeur. Each column began as a raw limestone block, carefully shaped and refined by our artisans using time-honored techniques. The process involved precise dry-laying, ensuring each piece fit seamlessly before carving the signature flutes. Each section was then numbered, allowing for effortless assembly on-site. Once transported, the columns were meticulously installed, followed by a detailed process of sanding, polishing, and sealing—enhancing both durability and visual refinement. With each column requiring approximately three days to complete per stonemason, the result is a feat of patience, skill, and artistry.

Beyond the columns, the limestone elements throughout the estate contribute to an atmosphere of enduring elegance. From grand façades to finely detailed mouldings, every piece speaks to the artistry of true stonemasonry. This project exemplifies Wilmoore Allstone’s dedication to preserving and advancing the craft, ensuring that each detail enhances the home’s architectural narrative.

The result is nothing short of extraordinary—a home that stands as a testament to luxury, sophistication, and the enduring beauty of hand-carved stone.
