This is a seven bedroom, 12,000 square foot mansion. The house may be luxurious, but it is not ostentatious. From the outside, the understated exterior only hints at the sophistication and elegance of the cavernous living areas inside. This development was winner of the ASUC Project of the Year Award, 2016.
This is a seven bedroom, 12,000 square foot mansion. The house may be luxurious, but it is not ostentatious. From the outside, the understated exterior only hints at the sophistication and elegance of the cavernous living areas inside.
Built as a celebration of modern family life, the living spaces allow each family member to share the communality of entertainment and socialising, whilst also being able to enjoy privacy and seclusion whenever they choose.
A feature staircase links all floors. The basement level includes a five and a half metre window that floods the front of the house with natural light. Moving through the hallway past six metre-tall glass doors brings the visitor into the main living areas, including the games room.
A hidden acoustic wall slides out to screen off the TV room from the main entertaining space and music room, allowing the occupiers of each environment to enjoy their pursuits without any sound interference. Slide back the wall, and all three rooms are linked for the most versatile of party spaces.
Beyond the games area is the steam room, sauna, gym and the pool. The pool receives natural light from skylights, and lights from below. Cantilevered steps into the water turn the pool into even more of a feature.

This is because skylights funnel light down into the spaces. The back wall even offers views up to the greenery of the garden, along with hints of fresh air.
The library uses the full floor-to-ceiling height. The spiral staircase links shelf levels, with the book cases wrapping around it, allowing the bibliophile to peruse the upper book shelves from the mezzanine.
With full floor to ceiling height, the art gallery space at the front of the house allows the display of a sizable collection. And around the corner, the wine buff is well and truly catered for with a generous wine wall.
The master bedrooms offer space and privacy, and feature both dressing rooms and ensuite. There are three additional bedrooms with ensuite on the same floor. They are fully insulated and soundproofed using independent studs.
The kitchen features a TV area, and a conservatory with glass walls and roof. Bi-fold doors slide back and reveal a cantilevered corner breakfast area, creating inside-outside dining.
