The home employs the architectural technique of compression and release, you step into the layered and enclosing courtyard garden, beneath the small portico and into a slender foyer. Here a faux wall withholds the surprise of the soaring and light filled expanse to come. Think raked ceilings, rows of clerestory windows and tumbling light that falls across the granite worktops in the kitchen. Lots of bespoke windows capture the green surrounds and glass doors connect the house to the deck and swim spa.
This ordered four-bedder is an easy-care haven from the nearby hustle and bustle. Imagine a quiet street, lined with beautiful weeping trees…an avenue of natural chandeliers. The home hidden from the street, delivering you to a peaceful and dynamic retreat. The interiors speak in a cohesive design language and there is a lovely balance at play - socialising is arranged with open confidence and intimate spaces unfold with privacy and grace.
We love the way small square windows are utilised to capture portraits of the surroundings, framing garden and landscape, like so many hand painted still lives. And we love the gentle play of patterns and texture throughout, from the crisp white panelling that features on some walls and ceilings, to the delicate patterning of the granite worktops. Interior courtyards welcome light deep into the plan and all four bedrooms have wonderful storage.
The social hub curves in a generous loop, delivering cosy living, formal dining and a big central kitchen, with a clever fixed meals table. This way the family can gather, coming and going from outdoors with ease. Dark cabinets house all and everything, contrasting with the crisp white walls, the luna texture of the granite counters. On the floors, large format grey tiling, reads like natural concrete and adds a cool, industrial note.
The home culminates to the north, where a master retreat, serves up a walk-in-robe and ensuite. There is lots of space, painterly northern light and a dreamy drift to a Juliette balcony. From here you can gaze across the rooftops, below the private laneway that connects you to the double garage with its convenient internal access.
Outside there is a layering of timber decks, both sheltered and open-air and glass fencing that gift clear views of the steaming spa waters. The back of the block is given over to a private gravel area, perfect for settling-in, warming your hands to a roaring fire pit. And let's take a moment to talk about the symmetry of the landscaped front garden, think the delight of a garden room…box hedging, weeping cherries, privatising green walls.
