You only have to spot the sunny yellow accents on this striking home to realise that this is no run-of-the-mill design. A contemporary home inspired by the Mid-Century Modern era, it’s a custom-built five-bedroom, three-bathroom residence that has captured hearts and minds with its warmth and personality.

The original brief for this bespoke home was to be light, bright and thermally efficient while still keeping a firm eye on the future for a growing family. The clients wanted a home that allowed them to come together comfortably or have their own space with a connection between the indoors and outdoors. They envisioned their dream home to be something a little bit different, reflecting their eclectic personality. Also seeking a home that paid tribute to the history of the suburb, complementing its surroundings.

The block position played a massive influence on the design of the home, described as “the side of a mountain” with a 5.5m slope across the site. This provided a unique challenge for our team, having to work with existing levels and contours of the block whilst keeping with the local council planning policy. The result, a cleverly considered split-level design covering over 518m2 which fit the client’s brief to a tee and took full advantage of the amazing views.
