up almost half of this uppermost floor. After all,
confined by steep land and vegetation, the home
has little other outdoor recreational space apart
from modest lawns at the side of the residence.
A swimming pool, firepit and outdoor cooking
zone all occupy the top terrace.
Reached by lift from the ground level, the
top-floor pavilion naturally enjoys the best out-
looks. Wraparound double-glazed doors and
windows, together with the vaulted kitchen
ceiling and generous clerestory glazing, help
ensure that the pavilion enjoys natural light and
passive ventilation all year round.
Connected to the upper floor by a generous
stairway that also acts as a light well right down
through the home, the first floor is comprised
of the large master suite, three other bedrooms,
central storage and a second lounge, or quiet
space, also trained on the scenic outlooks. And
below this, the ground floor contains a double
garage, entry foyer, study and rumpus room
Working well with the stone exterior, the
interior palette has accents of warm chocolates,
seen in the timber detailing. These brown tones
complement the fine quality Anatolia Beige
marble used on the floors and stairs throughout.
Above: Rising up three floors
certainly has its rewards – the
pavilion level of the Sydney home
enjoys sweeping views over
Balmoral Beach and the Sydney
Harbour headlands. The generally
neutral decor lets the outlooks take
precedence, while the Metropolis
Bronze Pearl window frames are
matched by metal accents on
furniture and the fireplace finished
in porcelain panel with the look of
patinaed corten steel.
