Ahead of its time, this modernist home, designed as an architect's own, showcases a remarkable celebration of light, landscape and enduring design. Equal parts sculptural and warmly inviting, a striking composition of concrete, timber and glass embrace north-facing outlooks across Garigal National Park.
Unexpected, curved walls mixed with geometric forms create a living experience that remains as compelling today as when it was conceived. A natural connection through main living areas is cleverly anchored by a Miele/Asko-appointed kitchen, where the home and landscape remain in constant dialogue. Bedrooms descend to a lower-level second living space opening directly to a native backyard, where the home's architecture can be appreciated from another perspective.
Responding brilliantly to the needs of modern families, the location is filled with lifestyle appeal. Walking distance to city and train-bound buses at the end of the street, with both Gordon and Killara train stations within easy reach, this exceptional home is moments from a selection of coveted schools and the shopping and dining of St Ives Village.
