Hyde Park · Tampa
Melville Row
A plain building.
A quiet street.
Three remarkable experiences inside.
The House
Everything worth having is on the inside.
From the sidewalk, Melville Row asks nothing of you - an unassuming rowhouse, three doors wide, easy to walk past. Step through any one of them and the register changes entirely: considered materials, deep quiet, and the kind of comfort that reveals itself slowly. The building keeps its secret well. You won't have to.
