An Oeuvre of Sensitivity
and Substance
Great buildings are rarely made alone. Kilburn Mansion gathers specialists who share an understanding of place: development by Abadeen; architecture by Studio Kennon; landscape by Teena Crawford; and a cohort of makers whose craft rewards close attention. Each plays a supporting role to the star: the building itself.

“We wanted Kilburn to feel inevitable… like it was always meant to be here.”
Pete Kennon
director of kennon
At Studio Kennon, architecture is not about putting a stamp on a building; it’s about crafting environments that resonate. Their guiding philosophy, ‘Being Sensitive’, explores how our earliest places shape the person we become: the light on a wall, the texture beneath a hand, the hush of space when time slows.

Landscape designer and horticulturist Teena Crawford brings a lifetime of botanical knowledge to Kilburn Mansion. Her approach: layered, living, and seasonally expressive — never static or over-clipped — so the garden reads as part of East Melbourne’s wider green fabric.
Led by heritage-conservation pioneer Peter Lovell, Lovell Chen brings more than four decades of experience to every stone, cornice and timber detail. Their careful stewardship ensures Kilburn Mansion’s history is honoured and its future assured.
