A unique thickly wooded hills site was the inspiration for well renowned architect Max Pritchard in the form of a three storey circular tower. The natural setting where large window panes allow you to feel as if you are part of the landscape with magnificent gums and wildlife at your doorstep. A brief from the owners was to create open and spacious living with minimal impact on the landscape whilst conserving as many trees as possible. Incorporating the children's bedrooms, a living room, main bathroom and laundry on the lower level, and a lounge, dining and kitchen occupying the mid level, which opens onto a spectacular timber deck. The main bedroom and a study are situated on a mezzanine level above. Up to four bedrooms, two bathrooms are provided along with significant storage options and fabulous circular rooms. The north facing windows and louvers maximise the thermal properties and air flow of the house during both winter and summer. A fabulous kitchen with a groovy leaf shaped Jarrah island bench provides ample work area and designer appliances. Overlooking the main living area and out onto the deck this is the core section of the home. The large combustion fire is perfect throughout winter. Offering luxury and style there is little to not like about this design.
Outside will see you admiring the almost acre of wooded grounds, wildlife and tranquility. A concrete driveway leads you to the double carport and storage shed. Under house storage is also provided. Low maintenance living with a minimal carbon footprint. Many a child's dream is to spend their days climbing trees and making forts and this property is the perfect platform for this.
When design and style are all that count!
