D'Estaville, Renaissance Revival mansion in Kew, Melbourne, Australia
The D'Estaville building features traditional bluestone construction, expansive rooms with wide skirting boards, and arched passages connecting different sections of the residence.
Built in 1859 by architects Knight & Kerr for Victoria's first attorney-general Sir William Stawell, D'Estaville stands as their sole residential project.
The mansion incorporates Art Nouveau elements from early 1900s renovations, including decorative plaster ceilings with floral patterns and ornate over-mantles in formal spaces.
The northern wing contains modern living spaces with a dining area, kitchen, pantry, and rumpus room, connected through a series of architectural arches.
A World War II concrete bunker in the garden has been transformed into a wine cellar, integrating historical elements with contemporary residential functions.
