Nestled within the luscious trees and expansive views of the Mornington Peninsula wine region, this stellar home fuses the tranquillity of nature and the sea with high-tech, sleek modern finishes to last a lifetime. Designed by H2Q Architecture & Design and constructed by the team at Bay Builders, the dwelling provides a welcome retreat from the bustle of city life; respecting the land in which it stands while also having the convenience of two distinct living areas within the one home, alongside external entertaining areas for ultimate functionality. Undertaking all internal design and product selection, including kitchen and bathroom design, material and colour selection, Karavasil Architects worked collaboratively alongside the team to give the home incredible texture, authenticity and appeal.
An abundance of high-end features characterises this home, setting it apart as the modern marvel it is. Alluring limestone and spotted gum cladding appear in both the external and internal areas of the abode, alongside polished concrete flooring, outstanding home automation, a natural-light-enhancing skylight, floor-to-ceiling windows and doors, and an impressive cantilevered upper storey set amongst the surrounding tree lines.
A wood fireplace cladded with limestone evokes a relaxed, cosy ambience to the space, while the polished hydronic-heated concrete floor is able to retain warmth and effortlessly heat the remainder of the home. Navigating environmental, zone and planning overlay parameters, the dwelling is a testament to both a clever design and Bay Builders’ outstanding attention to detail, where a mixture of stained timber and refreshing natural stone, alongside clean, geometric lines tantalise in the kitchen.
An undoubted design highlight, the two separate living areas within the home are the perfect addition for a growing family. The ground floor provides space for sleeping, living and entertaining areas, while the upper floor provides a private sanctuary space, with separate living and sleeping areas for ultimate privacy.
