For the Italian owners of this harbour front home in Seaforth, family is everything.  Tuesday night is family night, where children and grandchildren gather each week to share a meal.  Christmas and Easter are celebrated here.  So are birthday parties, engagement parties and after parties.  The brief therefore was simple: to create a home that family and friends could enjoy together. 

​

With stunning 180 degree middle harbour views as hero, the entire north-western facade was demolished and replaced with retractable glass walls.  Simple recessed downlights and glass balustrades throughout maintain the integrity of the view from every bedroom and living space.  

​

A central void was created to connect entry and entertainment levels, directing northern light and cool cross-breezes through the home.  The statement staircase was constructed around a solid concrete spine, anchoring 'floating' cantilever treads for immediate wow factor.  

​

The kitchen was designed for entertaining with dual sinks, dual ovens, central food prep island, double integrated dishwasher and Blum ServoDrive electronic drawers.  

​

A hinge-free timber paneled 'wall' beside the kitchen was engineered to house and hide industrial fridges, walk-in pantry, study nook and guest bathroom. 

​

Italian Crema Marfil marble and polished hardwood floors, bespoke joinery and hidden storage throughout create a crisp, cool, clutter-free home.
