Located on an elevated site near iconic Arthurs Seat this new split level contemporary home offers spectacular panoramic views across Port Phillip Bay.
The design of the home was also inspired by an organic modernist architectural approach and guided by the principle of a building growing naturally from its environment. With this in mind the home’s living and sleeping rooms interlock and fan from a central staircase and tower core. Natural materials and colours reflect this approach with the use of timber, stone and rendered concrete.
The homes eaves, clad in aluminium bands highlight the jagged plan whilst reminiscent of coastal cliffs and geological strata formations.
