Contemporary, timeless and spreading over three levels with a sparkling infinity edge pool to its elevated corner block, this Applecross abode commands attention from first glimpse – and allows its family of four to live the lifestyle they had always dreamed about.
Whilst certainly imposing in size this home has intimate spaces to allow the family to come together or entertain on any scale. There has also been considerable thought given to their children and how they use their spaces with their own en-suites, “hang out” spaces and rooms for their guests. It was also important to design spaces that allow light to filter through and provide a focal point. A beautiful central courtyard on the ground floor with planter boxes is a wonderful example for this.
“The integration of architectural features within the home are important however they should be used to enhance the design and focus attention on the attributes of the features of the block or interesting aspects of the layout of the home,” Steve said. “Landscaping is also integrated closely with our design and in this home the exterior sculpture set against the glass-faced rendered walls on was about creating impact and a sense of complexity against a contemporary elevation.”
