Hillside Residence
Utilising the sloping site and complying with the covenant, a stunning contemporary split level home has successfully taken advantage of the views featuring an open and airy design incorporating both formal and informal entertaining. An architectural yin and yen has been achieved by combining modern and recycled materials impeccably. Natural materials including stone and timber successfully combine with modern finishes to realise a harmonious interior vibe. Plaster bulkheads and niches have been incorporated to define spaces and create
features. Placement of glass walls connects spaces whilst achieving acoustic privacy. The family room fireplace was designed to appear to float. Butt glazing and picture window sheets of glass have been used throughout to ensure views and features surrounding the site are captured from within the home. Front door feature glazing successfully reiterates the external water feature. High level glazing ensures a light filled gallery whilst achieving a thermal heat chimney. The perfect morning begins with a swim followed by a shower in the sun filled ensuite. The shower, features a corner window at head height to enjoy views whilst maintain privacy. A sculptural designer bath is cleverly reflected by ceiling lighting. An external door allows access to the pool enclosure.
