When an architect designs for himself, every decision is a considered one. There are no compromises, no shortcuts - only choices made with full knowledge of their consequence. Not styled for a moment but built for a life; that is this home. Conceived and built by Christopher Grinham - co-principal of the award-winning Sydney practice H&E - this extraordinary residence sits privately at the tip of a cul-de-sac, no more than a five minute walk from the village. Japanese burnt timber cladding meets off-form concrete on the exterior; inside, polished concrete floors, custom oak joinery and extensive glazing at both ends create a home that is at once grounded and quietly expansive, radiating out to the privacy of the gardens, mineral pool and ocean views.
Designed for the multi-faceted demands of family life, the home moves across two levels with separate zones for living, working and entertaining, with a one-bedroom apartment discreetly tucked below pool level. It's immediately clear this is something else entirely. An architect's home, conceived from the inside out and resolved to the very last detail – calm, robust and quietly refined. There is nothing else like it.
