Media summary

The One "Le Mansion" is a French Provincial–inspired residence in Kenthurst, designed by Simon & Joanna Ochudzawa from JSA as a forever home for a growing family. Set on a generous acreage, the home blends timeless European elegance with contemporary Australian living. Symmetrical façades, steeply pitched roofs, wrought iron details, and finely crafted interiors celebrate classical design, while open-plan living, integrated technology, and resort-style amenities reflect modern family life. The residence features nine bedrooms, multiple living zones, and a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. Landscaped gardens, a swimming pool, championship tennis court, and children’s play areas foster recreation and connection. Sustainability is at the heart of the design, with solar and battery systems, rainwater harvesting, and passive thermal strategies ensuring efficiency and resilience. Carefully scaled to complement its neighbourhood, the home embodies sophistication without formality, delivering a warm, functional, and future-ready residence that will serve generations to come.

“Our vision was to create a timeless home that reflects our love of classic French design while supporting the daily rhythms of a large family. JS Architects captured this perfectly—balancing elegance with comfort, and beauty with functionality. The house feels grand yet warm, with spaces for privacy, connection, and celebration. Features like the central gallery, resort-style outdoor areas, and thoughtful details make everyday living both practical and inspiring. Most importantly, it feels like a forever home—adaptable for our children as they grow, welcoming for guests, and resilient for the future.”
