O'Neill Architecture gets better and better! Just when we think we have seen the best, another emerges from behind scaffolding to perhaps eclipse them all! This beautiful structure has the minimalist elegance and functional sophistication that began with Frank Lloyd Wright to define Contemporary Modern design. O'Neill has combined this influence with the calm and tranquillity of Japanese style to create a truly serene and peaceful home.
Placed towards the rear of a 1243sqm site, with strong horizontal lines and broad overhanging eaves, the house appears to float behind a sparkling blue pool and an expanse of verdant green lawn. Construction is Forte Millboard in cladding and decking for exceptional durability and low maintenance. Striking detailing in natural schist stone anchors the house and features inside and out. Entry is both dramatic and private, positioned behind. Double height glass columns reflect tall trees to the South, and a collection of atlantis pots stand guard at the front door. Carpeted triple car garaging has extensive tasteful joinery, drive through access to amenity area, plus a sizable workbench. 'Texture Plants' were commissioned to fill the garden and the pots with their signature topiary and structured style, a perfect fit.
Inside, all is crafted with meticulous precision, carefully curated by the architect and Davinia Sutton, our local spatial design talent. Living areas unite and divide and open out through vast sliders to the outdoors where an electric roof opens and closes over dining, relaxed low seating, and gas fire/barbeque set in a wall of stone, all protected and sheltered from our irksome easterly. A media room has bespoke joinery cleverly concealing unsightly media screen and apparatus when not required. Bedrooms are balanced on both levels, two upstairs and two down. Fixtures and furnishings glow in shades of chestnut and chocolate and are woven into every aspect, from the herringbone parquet flooring, across bathroom tiling and gleaming kitchen marble.
Externally, the meticulous newly established gardens, raised corten vegetable gardens, pool and outdoor living areas, truly captivate the epitome of sophistication.
This is without doubt sublime architecture in a superior location. On the cusp of Fendalton and Merivale, our most desirable neighbourhoods, this has to be a most favoured position. Hagley Park on your doorstep, walking distance into Victoria St and the CBD, and nestled among other premium property, this is the benchmark of excellence. Only just completed, Blair Ward Construction were the Master Builders and suffice to say the house has rightly been nominated for an award. We await the result! Meanwhile we welcome your appointment to view this truly exceptional home.
