An open plan master with ensuite to the top level leads onto a
private balcony, continuing this pursuit of light filled, outdoor
based living that distinguishes the residence.
The experience of the property is open and voluminous,
achieved through the strategic interplay of floorplates that
enable lines of sight through the house. Services and backof-house functions are located out-of-sight under stairs or in
zones with poor daylight levels so that the living and bedroom
areas are unobstructed and light filled. Internal walls were
deliberately avoided to enhance the perceived openness, and
thus curtains and joinery are used for privacy and delineation
where possible.
The minimal presence of internal walls and use of setbacks
and cutouts in floorplates, paired with extensive glazing, gives
a sense of lightness and openness that belies the scale of the
property and its dense urban setting.
