Drawing inspiration from Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s iconic Barcelona Pavilion, this residence celebrates the essence of modernist architecture - open space, purity of form, and an enduring dialogue between structure and landscape. A creation by David Ponting and Matthew Fitzgerald, the home is a triumph of precision and material mastery, its refinement placing it in a league of its own. The use of Himalayan schist is both deliberate and poetic, its texture and tone uniting the architecture from the gateway through to the heart of the home. A glass-walled gallery encases a striking central pool, framed by schist walls that anchor the residence to its natural setting, while overhead, a floating sail roof amplifies its sculptural elegance. A palette of Brazilian stone, wood-grained concrete, and American white ash, evokes understated luxury, illuminated by shifting light from broad glazing and skylights that animate the interiors throughout the day. Spanning 809 sq m more or less (as stated in supplied council consent documents), the home offers four en-suited bedrooms including a master suite of rare calibre, complete with dual vanities and his-and-hers amenities. Living zones transition seamlessly outdoors to 283 sq m more or less (as stated in supplied council consent documents) of terraces designed for private entertaining, while intelligent CBUS automation, underfloor heating across 11 zones, and a media room with concealed projector deliver technological sophistication and comfort. Set across four hectares of manicured land, this residence is a landmark in contemporary architecture. An extraordinary expression of craftsmanship and vision for those who appreciate the finest in design and scale.
