Imagine an expansive modernist 'treehouse' crafted with the finest materials, sensitive attention to design excellence, and inspired architecture embracing the light and the river views. Then consider the flexibility to inhabit those spaces in the way you and your family want to live, work, and entertain. Add the true comfort of eco-efficiency and sustainability, and a hilltop position with the river a walk away. The holistic design approach flows outdoors, with native and mediterranean gardens, a grand northern arbour, a circular pool, and a poolhouse or studio. Ease of multi-generational living has been considered, with a lift to the second level. This remarkable home arises from a commitment to create an environment that is beautiful, peaceful, practical and enduring, and just makes you feel good.
The exterior modified thermally-efficient timber cladding and panelling combines a warm palette with sharp modernist lines, and the lobby with glass to the north and south creates an immediate feeling of openness on entry. Extensive cabinetry in American black walnut defines the open-plan pavilion beyond: polished concrete floors, stunning kitchen with butler's pantry, and tall glass recessed doors opening north to an alfresco framed by towering timber beams. Dedication to quality in every detail is key: even the hardware is custom-made in solid brass. Also on this level is a powder room, lift, large double garage, and utility room leading to the laundry.
Walnut flooring flows upstairs, where glass welcomes the long views and louvres bring in the breezes. A long, wide landing creates a sitting area or workspace, and one of the four bedrooms is also an inspiring office/music room, or whatever you wish, with a built-in desk, and looking over the roof garden. Landscape and river vistas are everywhere; three bathrooms are crafted from finest materials and fittings, and moss-green cabinetry continues the generous storage found throughout. Retaining a spectacular Illawarra flame tree was central to the design: the master suite seems to float in the treetop, looking down to the gardens and pool. There, the poolside studio, with sauna and bathroom, offers even more choices: gym, workspace, or accommodation.
This collaboration between Tomasini Construction and the interdisciplinary design practice Studio Derickx is a joy. What a privilege to be the first to settle in here, up on the hill by the river.
