Views and performance were paramount to the success of this home, and it shows. The spectacular lake and alpine vistas have been expertly captured in this four-bedroom sanctuary. The 385sqm split-level house is pivoted on the site, and has subtle cantilevers and bespoke windows to maximise the 270-degree outlook. From the street, the house appears settled into its section, yet twists the architectural language of the neighbourhood. The black ceiling, which matches the sloping external soffit, draws the eye out to the views. The entry below leads to a foyer with a steel-battened screen beside the steel, oak and glass stairs, which open into a nearly six-metre high ceiling.

You’ll also find a double garage, a concrete-walled workshop and sound-proofed rumpus room/ fourth bedroom on this level. At the mid-floor stair landing is the laundry, concealed behind a Venetian plaster door. Continue up and you’re in the split-level space named the ‘Great Room’. As a result of the high ceiling, the room is filled with light and invites enjoyment of the view from almost every window and a lakeside balcony. A recessed north deck provides privacy and afternoon shelter. The home is quiet thanks to more than double code insulation, an airtight layer, triple-glazed windows and extensive sound insulation, along with 13mm plasterboard walls. Considered design and craftsmanship adds up to this enviable home.
