Plumpton Rd, Springvale – New Build

The design of this spectacular home is a clear reflection of site context. Given an oversized, wedge shaped parcel of land, the design naturally lent itself to becoming a generously scaled long L shaped form with central outdoor living area. The impressive proportions of the exterior hint that the interior is also going boost the luxury of space for this family to breath and grow. It does not disappoint! Expanses of glass unsparingly bring in an abundance of beautiful light all year around. Thanks to the expertly orientated large format windows and doors there is nothing more inviting than catching a breeze which cross flows throughout the house. The comfort provided by a home which is naturally warm in winter and cool in summer can never be underestimated, and it is not until you experience the liveability of a home enhanced with passive sustainable principles that you realise just how powerful good design really is.

This family home possesses strong, sharp linear and angular forms, combined with a well-considered colour and materials palette, which embodies a distinctively contemporary look. The home embodies a subtleness, this can be attributed to its unique design where living spaces confidently cantilever from the building footprint, blade walls create soaring angles and ordinary walls boast epic expanses. The bold use of charcoal metal cladding punctuates pockets of bright white. The neutral toned stone block work imparts an earthy quality which ties in with the naturalistic surrounds consisting of large Eucalyptus trees, native grasses, and singing kookaburras. The shimmering, deep, blue-green water of the full sized swimming pool is yet another feature which transforms this house into a dream family home. This place is sure to create many happy, joyful memories now and well into the future.
