The undeniable talents of its architect/owner live and breathe through every pore of a forward-thinking, 5-bedroom feat of design that's as smart as it sexy and humble as it is boisterously courageous.
His canvas: a sloping 5760sqm block that ended at the base of towering gums. His gift: an architectural head-turner that hugs the hillside and meets the treetops - yet, somehow, is just a short drive from the conveniences of the real world.
For this award-winning architect, it was not just another project. It was a labour of love; so much of it crafted by his hands; all of it punctuated by attention to the finest detail and the perfect placement of sharp lines, contrasting angles, stone, Jarrah, render and glass.
While the lower level offers the game-changing teenage retreat - the kind with a games room (with pool table), kitchenette, alfresco patio, bathroom, two bedrooms and wine cellar - it's the second level that changes minds.
Only subtly disconnected, yet bound by the same views and bundles of natural light, the formal lounge/dining, open-plan kitchen and living room, central courtyard and a patio form an entertainer's mecca amongst the treetops.
Draw the retractable canopy of the patio, fire up the built-in BBQ and pizza oven, and soak the night away in the heated 8-person plunge pool/spa that hovers over the fire pit and rugged greenery below.
With Jarrah tops, breakfast bar, walk-in pantry, glass splashbacks and stainless steel appliances, the kitchen personifies a commitment to understated style and supreme functionality.
Its aesthetic appeal is matched by the unseen genius of its eco-conscious design...
Every window and door serves a functional purpose in a home that naturally cools and warms when you need it most, and uses state-of-the-art technology to create an impenetrable fortress against the elements.
