A masonry home stripped back to bare bones and given new life. At the heart of this renovation is a central staircase, crafted from Australian oak, spiralling through three flights and opening onto the middle floor — a generous living and dining space with bathroom and decks, and outdoor entertaining areas off each end. Built to passive home principles, with a warm roof system, reticulated air, thermally broken windows and insulated block walls, the home is appointed with the finest appliances and fittings and finished to an exceptional standard — a quiet, peaceful retreat no matter the world outside.
