Media summary

Tucked within Kew’s verdant streetscape, this contemporary home is a study in sculptural form, light, and materiality. Defined by its fluid architectural language, the residence unfolds across three levels, where curving white façades, with vertical metal accents, shift with the changing daylight. Expansive arched glazing blurs the line between indoors and out, immersing the interiors in natural light and garden views.

Designed for modern family living, the five-bedroom home is centred around a dynamic circulation core that connects a series of distinct yet interconnected spaces. From an intimate formal sitting room to a generous open-plan living area, a cinema, and a bar, the design accommodates both gathering and solitude. Complementary wellness and utility spaces ensure seamless functionality and enhance the users’ everyday experience. With sustainability woven into its fabric, this residence is an elegant balance of innovation, comfort, and connection to nature.
