In this house, the functional is also the beautiful. Strong exterior forms of schist, concrete, steel and timber are works of art. These external materials and hues, so in tune with the immediate environment, are brought indoors and celebrated. Black steel is the star on this build with the exposed structural beams and trusses, a hovering fireplace, firewood storage and a floating staircase where treads merge into balusters in a single sculptural piece. Polished concrete floors add to the curated vibe that adeptly mixes the industrial with the luxurious. Timber, another recurring theme, can be found in the feature walls, ceilings and custom cabinetry in the kitchen, walk-in wardrobe and marbled bathrooms. It also lines covered outdoor entertaining spaces with uninterrupted views of the lake and the mountains. Sustainability was also paramount, with features such as SIPs panels and thermally broken concrete creating an airtight passive house. At 442sqm and with four bedrooms, four bathrooms, two living rooms, media room and a massive five car garage, this builder’s home is epic. It’s also an exemplar of a powerful form executed with finesse.
