The architectural renovation by Curious Practice was guided by a clear design brief: to respect the charm of the original 1930s cottage while crafting a space that harmonises with the colours and textures of the Australian landscape. The outcome? Aru House, a multi-award-winning residence that exudes quality, tranquillity, and abundant natural light, offering an uninterrupted connection between indoor and outdoor living.
Australian spotted gum is showcased throughout, from the sublime custom joinery to the new windows, and large sliding glass doors, bringing warmth and texture into every corner. These elements, crafted by local builder, Built by Eli, create a calming atmosphere, with cross-ventilation and passive solar control enhancing the living experience.
Behind a native garden and timber screening, an inviting entry deck offers a discreet spot for stowing shoes and bikes. Step inside this three bedroom home to discover two bedrooms, a skylit bathroom, and generous entry and storage, all flowing into a thoughtfully designed living space. The open plan area features an exposed brick fireplace and original pine floors, anchored by a striking custom kitchen. The island, crowned with Italian stone and complemented by Japanese glazed tiles, reflects the earthy hues of the Australian landscape. Not only is the island a beautiful focal point, but it also serves as the centrepiece of family life. The master suite is a private sanctuary exuding a luxurious, hotel-like vibe with a sunken concrete bath, walk-in robe, and sitting area.
An uncompromised connection between inside and out reveals a sunken native garden with a plunge pool, versatile studio retreat, third bathroom, and a protected and private deck designed for alfresco entertaining.
Living in Throsby village is a dream for busy couples and families alike, thanks to its vibrant community, cafes, corner pubs, sought-after school, and proximity to the city, harbour, and beaches.
