Two wings joined by a gallery on the lower level create two spacious, sheltered courtyards on the northern and southern sides of this distinctive home: one for sitting out in the sun or around the outdoor fire, one to escape the sun and to soak in the spa pool. Enter through the eastern wing into a light-filled gallery, where a staircase in the yoga studio/media room takes you up to twin bedrooms, each with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. Back downstairs, a powder room and a mudroom with shower leading directly through to the garage deals with the utilitarian side of the home in the most beautiful way.

From the charred and natural timber walls of the gallery, the west wing opens into a glass box with floor-to-ceiling glazing forming three sides of this open living zone. Two island benches make up the kitchen area, situated between the living and dining spaces, and there’s an adjacent scullery to absorb any mess and overflow. The entire 450sqm home is the soul of discretion with pivot doors disappearing into walls and the staircase to the second level of the west wing tucked away at the end of the living room’s concrete hearth. A den and two main bedrooms with ensuites reside up here. Clad in charred larch, with elegant aluminium fins punctuating the full-height windows, this house appears modest from the outset, before gently revealing itself once inside.
