Flanked by stone pillars and cedar shingles, this low-lying weatherboard house is Aspen lodge meets California bungalow. Hardwood floors lead you to open-plan living complete with designer kitchen and butler’s scullery, whilst also making space for separate formal dining and living rooms.

Project details

The house is divided into wings to give it formality, and various fireplaces positioned inside and out ensure a year-round warm ambience.

Evoking an air of Manhattan elegance, the interior of this house is all about dark and luxurious tones – from the tiling and light fittings to the joinery it’s all about black, grey, silver, and gold.

Project details

The Avonhead property is also equipped for fine living with a cinema room, standalone gym, in-ground pool and pool house, covered entertaining areas, sprawling green grounds, and even a seven-car garage. Built for a large family in need of privacy, this house achieves distinction without seeming intimidating.
