Piccadilly Street, Hyde Park

This stunning house exceeded all expectations with its organic, textured features and hard lines which embodies a tone of personality. The amazing front facade, with its squared off, Mediterranean, white rendered features is so different it’s pure genius. The contrasting front door is custom made from Tasmanian Oak softening the hard lines with curved timber handles.

This 3-bedroom home was built for an active family with a low maintenance, modern, coastal feel in mind. The calm interior balances a muted palette with moments of material intensity using vinyl plank flooring in coastal blackbutt finishes against the fresh Caesarstone, matt concrete bench tops.

As you enter the home the square and angular external features are tempered by the high raked ceiling and the incredible, large round window. The circle inside the square is pure brilliance giving a relaxed, comfortable feel to the generous lounge space. The use of passive solar design principles added another sleek element to the space with the addition of the large, fixed pain window which draw the eyes upward to the impressive, raked ceilings.

The kitchen, a focal point of this home, is all smooth lines and integrated cabinetry featuring modern black appliances and brushed brass handles. An island bench decked in Caesarstone is a standout element with its waterfall edge and provides ample preparation space while doubling as a breakfast bar for the family.

The dining area, overlooked by the contemporary kitchen, then leads out through custom glass stacker doors to seamlessly merge the indoor and outdoor living areas. The outside deck constructed with Ekodeck, overlooks the pool, and provides a much-needed outdoor living space that compliments tropical living demands. The inclusion of a servery from the kitchen window is a practical addition.

The master suite is thoughtfully situated away from the children’s end of the home, providing the parents with a peaceful space of their own. The generous walk-in robe is designed with integrated, custom-made cabinetry with passive lighting achieved by using a gallery of louvers at the end of the hallway. The ensuite has a spacious double shower wet room with floor to ceiling tiles complimented with brushed brass fixtures. The contemporary style main bathroom uses bold geometric shapes with the use of the freestanding bathtub and basin finished off with a round brass edged vanity mirror.

The home also includes an office studio, children’s activity room, laundry room with ample storage and double bay garage. The location of this home is in a designated flood zone and was designed above the base flood elevation. The garage is left open allowing water to pass through to prevent hydrostatic pressure on the home. The house is built with durable and sustainable construction.

Fundamentally the simplicity of this home’s design combined with subtle sophistication, deliberate use of texture and clean lines showcase the contemporary, Mediterranean feel of this home.
