Notable Architecture & Design
Icons: 5 Bedrooms, 2.5 Bathroom, 2 Car
Architect-designed by Norman Roth to house a family of accomplished visual and performance artists, this notable late 20th Century home brings rarely-seen quality and design to life in the McKinnon College Zone. Conceived on the grandest scale with gallery-like graces, curvaceous spaces and curated viewpoints at every turn, the home offers a creative five bedroom, 2.5 bathroom floorplan that grounds a grand master-domain (with robed dressing area and spa-ensuite) alongside a secret atrium, places robe-fitted secondary bedrooms on a plush mezzanine level and orients a soaring rear bedroom wing towards north sun.
Designed to work, play and entertain on a lavish scale with a towering ‘great-room’ embellished by an immense semi-circle fireplace and a sinuous timber stair, the home creates endless opportunities for connection – person-to-person and inside-to-out. In this grand design, a vast formal lounge doubles as space for home-business (complete with separate entry), a circular dining bay arcs into the garden, and towering vaulted rooflines and soaring walls of northerly glass invite blue-sky contemplation.
Combining the substance of suspended-slab solid-brick construction with the gentle reach of cedar panelled walls and ceilings, rich jarrah floors and solid timber cabinetry, the home is freshly plushly carpeted, solidly clinker-bricked and tall-windowed - with glazing rising over two levels to 5m heights…and angling out for a sneaky bathroom atrium view. Appointed for a modern family with ducted heating, air-conditioning and ducted vacuum, an alarm and enough solar-panels to enable significant energy savings, the home is set in crazy-paved manicured garden surrounds with an oversize double auto-garage behind a sheltering fenceline.
Set on one of the College Zone’s rare period streetscapes with the tram in reach and the bus to stations, shopping and Monash University at the end of the street, this is both a family home of rare substance…. and architecture of real significance.
