Japanese inspired artists studio apartment - self contained and private

About Simon Normand

I am a Melbourne based artist who specialises in installation art pieces that are largely by commission. Whilst I rarely use the studio for work, it is an interesting space that stores my art pieces and collected treasures accumulated over a lifetime. The design of the Studio apartment was inspired by Japanese doors and carvings that I found in an antique warehouse in Myrtleford, Victoria. My partner and I enjoy the garden and it has been recently landscaped with raised ponds garden beds. My family and I live in the house that sits 30metres from the studio. We really thought about what we value in accomodation when we travel, and have incorporated aesthetics, privacy and comfort into our spaces for your enjoyment.

Simon Normand purchased this Studio in 1994

Why Simon Normand chose Northern Suburbs

Ivanhoe is a beautiful leafy suburb located close to Melbourne City. We use the parklands and bicycle paths all the time, and enjoy the convenience of walking to shopping and public transport.
