This project is a new residence located on a generous site in Toorak. The spatial brief called for the home to be divided into three distinct zones. The main house was designed to include the primary living and dining spaces, an enclosed kitchen with a walk-in pantry, and an upstairs master suite complete with a private sitting area.
Connected to this was the children's wing, comprising five bedrooms—each with its own ensuite—leading through to a self-contained two-bedroom dwelling at the rear.
The third component is a standalone structure housing a four-car garage, along with accommodation for the driver and housekeeper, including two bedrooms and a combined living and kitchen area.
Beyond the spatial requirements, the client sought a home that offered a range of atmospheres to suit different occasions—from a dramatic double-height void at the entrance to more intimate, cosy spaces ideal for smaller gatherings. All of these elements were designed to wrap around a large central landscaped courtyard, bringing natural light deep into the home and creating a strong connection to the outdoors.
