It's easy to see why this sleek and striking single-level home picked up a 2016 Master Builders Award in the custom build category. Designed by architect Ben Walker and executed with the aim of producing exceptionally seamless finishes and solar passivity, the whole home is a model of clever detailing.
From the high-set windows in the beautiful entry void that act as a thermal chimney and regulate temperature, to the floor-level windows and sliding doors that have been set straight into the slab, every choice has been made with considered intent. A greenery-peppered courtyard off the entry hall allows sunlight into deeper areas of the floorplan, provides a soothing outlook and separates the living zone from the resting zone which includes the spa-like master suite.
Living areas benefit from raked ceilings and a north-facing wall of argon-filled thermally broken double-glazed windows that bathe the spaces in warming winter light while maturing Capital Pears along the northern fence line offer leafy summer shade. Running the full length of this wing, a covered deck widens to the rear, offering a gentle, protected space to entertain guests and enjoy amazing native birdlife.
The kitchen has starred in newspaper features, and rightfully so, melding luxury and practicality through its 3.8m island, integrated appliances, storage drawers and a huge wall dedicated to pantry cupboards. Hydronically heated burnished concrete floors tie the entire floorplan together while red Canberra brick and Bookleaf spotted gum bring warming interior accents right throughout the home.
Located opposite a small park and an easy walk to the popular Chifley shops and Westfield Woden office/ retail precinct, this sensational home presents as new and is a must-view.
