House
Designed for Living! Stunning architect designed home.
Presented by Jayson Renouf of Renouf Real Estate. Designed by architect David Weir and Craig Nener this striking residence is a study in site optimization. From the street the approach is private and discrete and only hints at the surprise that awaits as you reach the end of the drive. Dappled light from the north and a backdrop of mature trees create a soft and inviting welcome. Set amongst lush, landscaped gardens the property is a sanctuary crafted with purpose, precision, and artistic vision.
Upon entering you are met with spaces that encourage you to settle in and spend time with a sense of warmth and luxury.
The internal layout has been thoughtfully designed for modern living with spaces and zoning for connection and retreat, work and rest. Clean architectural lines and expanses of glazing draw in natural light from every angle. Central to the design is maximising the northern aspect and the flow from inside to out, creating a seamless transition between the two spaces.
A flexible floorplan provides up to four Bedrooms or alternatively 3 Bedrooms and a workspace or studio. The accommodation includes a luxurious master suite with ensuite bathroom that looks out onto a private courtyard. The minor accommodations are serviced by a second bathroom with a separate toilet and an adjoining retreat space that provides the buffer that is often desired in day-to-day family living. Above the garage is located a generous size space [39 sqm] with its own balcony that could serve as either guest or family accommodation, or a workspace/studio to satisfy the fussiest of occupants. This space could be further enhanced by installing an ensuite bathroom subject to relevant approvals. Architect Craig Nener describes the studio or fourth Bedroom as a modest but richly considered retreat, delicately stitched into the landscape of tall gums in Wembley Downs. Accessed through the courtyard, a black spiral stair winds upward rising quietly into the tree canopy emerging into a lofty, sloped-roof space filled with diffuse southern light. The southern faade is fully glazed, framing the trees beyond and pulling the landscape inward. A recessed balcony cuts into the roof geometry to create a perch under the treetopsa place to pause and breathe. The exterior is clad in shou sugi ban, the clients favoured material for its deep tone and shimmering surface. The blue door on the street-facing elevation is fitted with a pulley system, a playful but practical nod to the studios function, allowing artworks and materials to be lifted up with ease. Built as an extension of both the house and the artists creative life, the space is intimate, elemental, and quietly powerful.
Additional features of the residence include a generous allocation of cabinetry, a Falcon Stove, a Renaissance copper butlers sink, Miele dishwasher, and oxidised-copper basins in the bathrooms, a free-standing Jotul wood fire fireplace inside to add atmosphere with ducted air conditioning throughout. An abundance of storage is provided in the home with the convenience of a double garage and additional overflow off-street parking for further vehicles.
