Project Overview

This project involved the demolition of an existing dwelling and the construction of a bespoke, architecturally designed 5-bedroom residence tailored to a private client’s lifestyle and aspirations. The new home reflects a modern and contemporary aesthetic, featuring an inverted layout with bedrooms on the ground floor and living spaces on the first floor to maximise natural light, privacy, and expansive views of the surrounding landscape.

Careful attention was paid to every detail of the design and construction process, incorporating high-quality finishes, energy-efficient systems, and custom-made architectural features.

Key Features

Inverted Layout Design

To make the most of the site’s elevation and orientation, the home’s layout was flipped—placing all bedrooms on the ground floor and living areas on the upper floor. This provided panoramic views and filled the main living areas with natural light throughout the day.

Bespoke Glazed Atrium

The entrance makes a strong architectural statement with a custom-designed timber-framed glazed atrium, welcoming guests with a flood of daylight and a sense of openness upon arrival.

Open-Plan Living

A carefully crafted open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space was positioned on the first floor to serve as the heart of the home. It seamlessly connects to bespoke balconies,

Private Leisure Spaces

A dedicated cinema room and games room on the ground floor offer luxury and leisure tailored to the client’s lifestyle, with acoustic insulation and mood lighting systems.

High-Quality Interiors

The entire home was finished to an exceptional standard, including:

• Designer kitchen and bathroom fittings
• Bespoke joinery and wardrobes
• Premium flooring and tiling throughout
• Underfloor heating across both floors
• Walk-in dressing room for master bedroom

Outcome

The final build is a striking, high-performance family home that combines contemporary design with functionality and comfort. The client was highly satisfied with both the process and the result, praising the home’s layout, quality of finishes, and how the design perfectly fits their lifestyle.
