Apolline.
This three-storey family home was thoughtfully designed as a contemporary response to its surrounding landscape, a home that sits comfortably within its setting rather than competing with it.
A defining feature of the home is the entry sequence, where warm timber detailing introduces a strong sense of materiality and craftsmanship from the outset. The entrance was intentionally designed to feel grand, open and inviting, creating an immediate sense of arrival. As you step inside, your eye is drawn upward through the volume of the space, with the stairway becoming a central architectural gesture that leads you through the home and all the way to the top storey. This vertical connection was carefully considered to create a feeling of height, openness and flow.
Large windows have been positioned with purpose, framing the surrounding outlook and drawing natural light deep into the interior. This approach not only enhances the spatial experience within the home, but strengthens its relationship to the landscape, capturing the beauty of the setting from multiple vantage points throughout the day.
Internally, the home balances modern family living with a refined material palette and thoughtful detailing. Elements such as custom joinery, textured finishes, warm timber accents and carefully selected fixtures contribute to a home that feels both grounded and elevated. The design supports multiple zones for family life, offering spacious communal areas alongside more private retreats, making it highly functional for contemporary living while maintaining a strong architectural identity.
Overall, the home is a considered expression of craftsmanship, proportion and liveability, designed not only to look striking, but to feel purposeful, welcoming and deeply connected to place.
