From the architect: A well-considered series of spaces celebrate the home's voluminous proportions, while creating intimate spaces for rest and relaxation. The more open spaces allow for impromptu meeting moments around the kitchen island and entry foyer. A sculptural staircase located centrally within the floor plate welcomes you on arrival with a gallery-like feel and a sense of being centre stage.

The brief was to heighten the interior experience, drawing from the exterior's solid sculptural aesthetic: a series of considered spaces with heightened unexpected moments through a series of light-filled double-height volumes engaging with its occupants, while connecting the upper-level sleeping and private retreat areas.

A sculptural central staircase connecting the two levels elevates the living experience with a sense of intrigue, yet intentionally defines the surrounding living spaces for more intimate settings.
