Full-height sliding glazed walls with opalescent glass diffuse natural light deep into the plan, creating distinctive spatial qualities throughout the home. A flexible arrangement of interconnected spaces allows rooms to open generously for entertaining or close down to form more intimate, private environments. This adaptability extends outward, where indoor and outdoor living coexist comfortably, linked by transitions that are both subtle and fluid.



At the heart of the house, a central east–west spine wall and stair gallery anchors the composition, with all spaces stemming from this organising element. Clad in large-format polished porcelain tile panels, the spine extends beyond the building envelope, terminating in sculptural copper walls and water features to the east and west. Externally, strong horizontal planes are balanced by defined vertical elements, with monolithic plaster walls, anodised silver joinery, glass balustrades and copper detailing combining to create a confident architectural presence on the hillside.
