Eaglemont Modern House is a contemporary family residence located beside the Glenard Drive Reserve within Melbourne’s historic Glenard Estate. Designed for a professional couple and their three young sons, the home responds sensitively to its sloping site and garden-suburb context through a sculpted folded roof form that steps with the terrain.
North-facing living spaces, sloped ceilings and carefully framed glazing draw soft natural light deep into the home while maintaining privacy from the street. A restrained material palette of Knotwood aluminium timber cladding and black steel detailing balances warmth with durability, creating a low-maintenance and enduring façade.
Passive design strategies, including cross-ventilation, deep eaves, high-performance glazing and an installed rooftop solar PV system, underpin the home’s energy efficiency and thermal comfort. The result is a calm, flexible and environmentally responsive sanctuary that supports contemporary family life while remaining deeply connected to its natural setting.
We are absolutely thrilled with our Eaglemont modern home designed by Sky. From the beginning, Sky translated our vision into a home that truly supports the way we live. Every detail was thoughtfully considered—from maximising natural light to creating a layout that flows effortlessly and suits our lifestyle. The creative use of space and materials results in a home that feels both contemporary and timeless, while blending seamlessly with the leafy Eaglemont setting. The house is not only beautiful, but highly functional and a joy to live in every day. It genuinely enhances our daily life and experience at home.
