This project brings together a collective of Australia’s most respected design minds, each selected for their ability to deliver enduring, high-calibre outcomes. Led by Andrew Leoncelli of Abadeen, the vision is realised through the architectural and interior design precision of Chris McCue of Studio McCue, the landscape artistry of Naomi Barin, Dangar Barin Smith and the refined interior curation of Jacqueline Foti-Lowe from The Front Room. Together, they form a highly considered partnership united by a shared commitment to design integrity, material quality and timeless living environments.
A Rare Site, approached with clarity, discipline and intent.
For Abadeen, the opportunity to secure a site within the Domain precinct is always compelling but this particular corner presented something far rarer. Elevated, north-facing and commanding one of South Yarra’s most prestigious addresses, it offered the foundation for a project of genuine significance.
The dual street frontage became a defining element of the vision. By addressing the building across both Murphy Street and Domain Road, the project allows each residence to carry its own identity, culminating in two penthouses with a Murphy Street address, while the remaining residences are aligned to Domain Road. This approach reinforces the boutique nature of the development, where each home feels considered, distinct and inherently connected to its position within the precinct.
From the outset, the ambition was clear: to create a building that would not simply respond to its context but define it. Recognising that such a location demanded architectural excellence, we engaged Studio McCue to deliver a design that is both enduring and unmistakably of its place.

Architecture That Will EndureA composed response to site, light and legacy
The architecture is a composed and confident response to both site and setting balancing sculptural form with disciplined restraint. Designed by Studio McCue, the building embraces its prominent corner position through a series of carefully articulated volumes, allowing light, aspect and outlook to shape the architecture itself. The result is a timeless presence one that sits comfortably within the Domain precinct while establishing a new benchmark for design integrity.

Landscape Architect
A Living Sanctuaryby Dangar Barin Smith
Renowned landscape architecture firm Dangar Barin Smith brings a sophisticated vision to the Murphy X Domain residences, creating a lush environment that seamlessly integrates with the prestigious South Yarra landscape. Designed to cultivate a profound sense of calm, the landscape masterfully blurs the boundaries between indoors and out, with elegant greenery like trailing Coastal Banksia cascading from balconies to ensure a continuous connection to nature from every residence.
Anchored by a sustainable, largely native plant palette, the design utilises mature Cabbage Tree Palms and Chinese Weeping Elms to provide striking architectural verticality, dappled natural light, and absolute privacy. The curated outdoor spaces cater to both quiet daily rituals and elevated entertaining, crowned by a luxurious rooftop featuring a unique Burrawang centrepiece and a vine-draped pergola designed for year-round comfort. Destined to age gracefully, this verdant sanctuary promises evolving seasonal beauty and an exclusive, low-maintenance lifestyle for its residents.

A Vision of Timeless EleganceOur Partnership with The Front Room
The Front Room, led by Jacqueline Foti-Lowe, brings a level of refinement and quiet sophistication to the interiors of Murphy X Domain shaping spaces that feel complete, considered and effortlessly liveable. Through curated furniture and styling, each residence is elevated beyond architecture, offering a true sense of scale and lived experience.
The interiors are shaped by a considered and quietly expressive design approach, defined by balance, materiality and a sense of enduring refinement. Each space has been thoughtfully composed to complement the architecture, creating a cohesive language that flows effortlessly from form through to the finest interior details.
The result is a collection of homes that feel both generous and composed, designed for seamless entertaining and everyday ease, where every element is purposeful, resolved and distinctly refined.
