Tucked behind a sculptural, sound-proof wall, this home is a game of two halves with an enclosed courtyard between – the rear opens to outdoor living with tree and stream outlooks

Designed by James Patterson, Walker Architecture for Wyatt Construction

From the architects:

This home is full of innovative surprises and design features, starting with its striking street appeal. 

The exterior has Nu-wall cladding, its shimmering green-gold hue changing in the sunlight.

Graphic precast panels cast a 3D effect, creating a feature wall that brings a dynamic look to the lower level. 

This clever panel doubles as a fence that insulates the house from road noise.


Elsewhere tasteful touches have been integrated into every room, the layout ensuring a restful sense of being and flow.

The downstairs open-plan living areas spill out to the outdoor living, with a built-in outdoor kitchen barbecue area with louvre roof and outdoor fire, opening it up for year-round use.

Established trees and a stream provide lovely views and privacy.

The kitchen has solid American Ash herringbone floors, generous quartzite benchtops and an eye-catching marble splashback. 

The powder room has split-faced travertine walls and a granite boulder sink.

A hall skylight overlooks a landscaped courtyard, and there’s a wine cellar in the main hallway with back-lighting.

All four of the bedrooms, including the guest suite on the lower level, have ensuites – the main ensuite boasting a cedar sauna. 

This home is a truly luxurious retreat.
