The concept here was to design a beautifully detailed and contemporary home around the large gumtree at the centre of the site, while capturing captivating city skyline views.
Using glass ceilings and full-height windows ensures the inhabitants always feel connected to the environment outside, with a luxury ambiance that transcends the ‘tree house’ moniker for which it has become known.
Incorporating a dark colour palate and elegant brass details, the home simultaneously blends and contrasts against the organic materials of the exterior and the natural surrounds.
Spanning 3 levels, entry is alongside the ground-floor garage complete with wine cellar. The first floor is dedicated to open-plan living spaces and a north-facing courtyard. In the limestone-paved alfresco space, integrated bench seating and a built-in barbecue create a unique sanctuary for entertaining.
It’s clear that the orientation is key to the home’s year-round warmth, functionality and practicality.
The contemporary kitchen incorporates Miele appliances and a 900mm oven, custom Pitt cooktop, integrated coffee machine, fridge, freezer and a butler’s pantry.
The upper-level accommodation comprises three full-sized bedrooms, with the master suite set in a separate wine. With a custom walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, it opens to a private balcony that takes in both city and Harbour Bridge views.
Smart details include Sonos sound, C-bus connectivity, ducted air conditioning and an Ecosmart fireplace. With keyless entry and an extensive security system, it’s crafted to deliver the ultimate in designer living along with lock-up-and-leave ease.
Positioned just 4km to the heart of Sydney’s CBD, you’re within an easy stroll of Darling Street’s shopping and dining heart, with express city buses on your doorstep and more.
A indulgent offering with a level of executive smarts and family-friendly appeal, this residence delivers above and beyond its architect-designed pedigree.
