A statement in both design and performance, this architecturally crafted residence designed by Gareth Cole and built in 2014, delivers a rare fusion of structural integrity, sustainability, and effortless everyday living. Built with enduring materials and guided by intelligent design principles, the home is as practical as it is beautiful.
At its core lies a passive solar design, carefully oriented to capture northern light-welcoming warmth through winter while naturally shielding the home from summer heat. The result is a residence that maintains a comfortable, balanced temperature year-round, reducing reliance on artificial heating and cooling while enhancing daily comfort.
Beyond its design, the home is built to perform. Solid concrete foundations anchored to bedrock, steel framing, and Hebel construction ensure long-term durability, while an impressive 16,000L rainwater collection system adds a layer of sustainability rarely seen in residential homes.
The living experience is equally compelling. Open-plan interiors extend seamlessly to a private outdoor setting featuring a solar-heated pool, motorised blinds, and beautifully crafted Blackbutt timber entertaining zones. Whether hosting or unwinding, the home adapts with ease.
Refined finishes and thoughtful inclusions continue throughout-from Caesarstone kitchen surfaces and high-performance cooking appliances to low-E laminated glazing, integrated audio wiring, and programmable LED lighting. Every detail has been considered, every element designed to enhance the way you live.
Positioned in a highly convenient setting moments to transport, schools, parks, and Hornsby Hospital, this is a home that delivers on design, sustainability, and lifestyle in equal measure.
