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.
