Art In Motion, A Triumph Of Design With A Heated 25m Lap Pool And Every Conceivable Luxury. 498sqm Approx Internal Living
Winner of a World Architecture Festival award, this extraordinary residence defies convention with its dynamic design and masterful use of space and light. A bespoke and sculptural response to its corner site, the contemporary masterpiece by CplusC Architects is set amid landscaped grounds designed by Secret Gardens but step inside and that's where the journey really begins. Materials and construction were pushed to the limits with curved glass walls allowing spaces to fold into one other with a heated 25m lap pool playing a starring role and creating a moat-like effect. With ocean views from the upper levels, the four-storey residence is wrapped in a sequence of decks and courtyards featuring whole-floor living space with a showstopping kitchen and an atrium style internal garden that brings light into the subterranean play haven. Crowned with a luxurious parents' retreat overlooking the ocean, this is a home like no other with every detail carefully crafted with spaces for the large or multi-gen family to gather, entertain, work or retreat. The material palette is both refined and robust with beautiful hardwood, off-form concrete and sandstone as the heroes of the interiors creating a feeling of warmth and sanctuary. Featuring triple garaging via Prospect Street, this remarkable six-bedroom home is surrounded by top schools on the edge of Charing Cross village and just over 1km to Bronte Beach and a quick trip to the city.
