The geometric lines of this contemporary structure designed by Steve Domoney Architecture make a bold statement in Hawthorn, a suburb of Melbourne which is currently undergoing a change of identity and traditional brick buildings are gradually being replaced by more modern homes.
The surprisingly spacious family home, sits on a compact site which enjoys total privacy, due to the inward facing design and the wooden fence which surrounds the property, a necessary design feature in a region with no natural view. The three sections of the black and white building culminate in the garden, pool and deck areas.
The interior with the double height living space and minstrel gallery is flooded with natural daylight thanks to the floor to ceiling windows. The clever use of water in the form of a moat like extension of the pool, is a defining feature in the innovative design and adds a note of individuality to this luxury family residence.
