Located in Toorak estate on the doorstep of Toorak Village, this luxury residence by FGR Architects crowns the end of Kilsyth
Avenue. Its position at the end of the cul‐de‐sac exposes the site to a curving frontage which is reflected in the building’s form. The dramatic
curvature of the second floor extends to form a floating entry canopy. Expressive curves are brought into the entry sequence through the foyer,
soft bowing double height entry showcasing a spectacular spiral staircase.
Northern glazing on the ground floor extends the living, dining and kitchen areas out into the garden. The dancing sunlight reflected
from the outdoor pool lights up the generous alfresco area and percolates into the indoor living spaces. The ground floor also accommodates a
cozy lounge room that is accessible a secluded front yard and the back garden. A guest bedroom is tucked away under the cantilever of the
second floor. It’s looming form framing the view from the guest bedroom window.
The round skylight at the crest of the entry foyer acts as a vertical axis leading you to the upper level of the residence. The rumpus
room sits at the top of the staircase with connections to bedrooms at its peripheries. Generous bedrooms include walk in wardrobes and
ensuites.
Although the striking and clean forms of the frontage highlights the contemporary luxury of this home, the warm tones of travertine
and open living creates a welcoming and calm atmosphere for the residents. Once the sun sets, the building is lit up, showcasing the unique
curvature of the façade, marking it as a truly unique home.
