Project No. 352

glen eira

Caulfield

The Glen Eira House seamlessly integrates into its surroundings with an understated elegance, subtly tucked behind what initially appears to be a narrow street frontage, yet revealing its true depth and character upon closer inspection.

Spanning over 1,300 square meters, this residence invites visitors into a biophilic oasis, where the line-of-sight leads to unexpected expanses of greenery and tranquility. Upon entering through the breezy, light-filled entrance, characterized by striking feature steel doors and expansive glass panels, guests are greeted with a revelation—the true magnitude of the Glen Eira House unfolds before them, extending seamlessly into the meticulously landscaped rear.

Internally, the placement of the staircase serves as the nucleus around which the entire home revolves, embodying the essence of connectivity and flow. Serving as the heartbeat of the project, this architectural marvel not only links the basement to the upper levels but also acts as a unifying force, connecting every communal space within the Glen Eira House. Its symmetrical design harmonizes with the geometric shapes found throughout the home, offering both functionality and aesthetic appeal.

The interior spaces of the Glen Eira House exude a sense of luminosity and airiness, achieved through a thoughtfully curated neutral palette and the incorporation of reflective and transparent materials. Soft white stones, gentle timbers, and mirrored accents provide a neutral canvas upon which vibrant pops of greens and blues, requested by the design-savvy clients, playfully come to life. Luxurious touches such as green terrazzo, rich blue velvets, and gleaming brass accents further enhance the ambiance, infusing the home with a sense of opulence and sophistication that reflects the family's discerning taste.

Meticulous attention to detail and innovative design solutions contribute to the efficient spatial planning within the Glen Eira House. Communal areas are thoughtfully arranged to maximize natural light and integrate seamlessly with the lush green surroundings, fostering a sense of harmony and comfort. This carefully crafted environment encourages family interaction and creates a unique ambiance that is both inviting and inspiring, making the Glen Eira House a true sanctuary for its residents.
