Located in a boutique township, this 300m² pavilion-style home was designed for a professional couple seeking lifestyle flexibility.
The brief called for a residence that would be both distinctive and adaptable – delivering enduring style, comfort, and broad appeal.
Private setting
The home unfolds in two distinct wings, joined by a central glazed entry with valley views captured through expansive, sun-drenched glazing.
Media room, office and master suite fill one wing, offering privacy and seclusion for the master suite from the living, kitchen & remaining bedrooms.
Refined bedroom retreat
The master suite is a retreat defined by understated luxury and detailing, crafted to balance modern elegance with serene comfort – large windows & sliders frame morning light & valley views.
Anchored by plush soft furnishings with blends of soft textures and a calming neutral palette, the master bedroom also has feature wall panelling which adds subtle architectural interest while maintaining a minimalist aesthetic.
Bespoke walk-in wardrobe
The master bedroom flows into a bespoke walk-in wardrobe, with high quality materials, integrated toe kick lighting, ample shelving, an abundance of drawers & hanging space to offer a real boutique hotel experience every day.
Atmospheric ensuite
The adjoining ensuite is moody and dramatic with full-height, vein-cut, stone-look tiles that envelop the space in rich texture.
A freestanding bath positioned beside a large picture window invites relaxation while offering uninterrupted views of the natural landscape.
The walk-in shower features sleek fixtures and recessed shelving, for a streamlined look.
Subtle light reflects from the perimeter of the mirror and from the underside of the vanity to create ambience.
Dark woodgrain cabinetry and sculptural vessel basins complete the space, ensuring a cohesive flow between form and function.
Calming retreat
Together, this suite master delivers a sophisticated sanctuary where every detail – from tactile surfaces to considered lighting – enhances the sense of calm and retreat.
