81 McKillop Street, Geelong, VIC 3220

An exciting collaboration of expressive sustainable architecture and a classic mid-1850's Victorian home designed by renowned architect Tim O'Sullivan and designer Sioux Clark of Multiplicity whom have just been graced with an award from Grand Designs Australia Magazine, winning first place in the category of Large New Home.

This single level home within walking distance to the Geelong CBD, Waterfront, hospitals, restaurants and cafe's, has its unique quirk from the calliope colour fa?ade through to the intrinsically beautiful interiors, light-filled spaces and use of raw recycled materials. On entry, you are greeted with striking Tasmanian oak flooring that flows seamlessly through to the library which is the home to more than 1000 books or records and is finished with galvanized shelving, large windows and floating bench seats with direct access to the garden and deck.

Stroll past the many features on offer to the kitchen where style, practicality, and quality merge as one with stunning Irish marble, galvanized bench tops, intergraded fridges/freezes and dishwasher are all on offer. The walk-in pantry, storage and Liebherr wine fridges add further luxuries to an incredible collaboration.

The sunken dining room is yet another highlight with a 5.5m high ceiling with full-length skylight and feature floor-to-ceiling windows connecting stunning, low maintenance, native gardens beautiful gum tree and wildlife to all aspects of the home. The main living area is positioned with a northerly aspect and is featured with a recycled timber ceiling, imposing exposed beams, louvered windows and 3m high double-glazed doors and windows fulfilling all aspirations. The rear deck captures city views and the counter-levered carport doubles as an exciting entertainment area.

The master suite is special with an original feature fireplace, walk-in robe and an ensuite boasting a shower with a full roof skylight and a galvanized window opening to the north courtyard and garden. The periscope is to view the undulating sky from the bathroom and simply must be seen to be believed. The main bathroom is bright and has been masterfully designed with the reuse of original materials creating an individual appeal that fits its environment with a floating bath and separate shower.

The home is a true work of art and will be appreciated by those who have a keen eye for sustainable architecture and are after that enviable lifestyle that the Geelong CBD offers.
