Designed for communal family life, five self-contained bedroom suites are linked by a central spine that frames views of indoor and outdoor spaces. Flexible undercroft and alfresco zones extend living and entertaining, creating a home where connection flows effortlessly year-round.
Within a restrained palette, concrete pierces through the interiors as a sculptural gesture, its boldness tempered by the warmth and tactility of timber, creating a home that feels both striking and inviting.
Elevated above a sloping site, the home rises to meet the surrounding parkland, balancing ground and sky with ease. Arrival unfolds through a quiet landscape of floating bluestone and concrete blades, blurring the boundary between architecture and nature.
Attention to every detail allows the bold materials to shape a home that is both striking and intimately lived in.
