Although the home sits quietly within its landscape, the water views reveal themselves as you move through the house. From the moment you cross the threshold, the journey through the home is framed by garden, light and glimpses of the water beyond.

Lush courtyards sit at the heart of the house, bringing natural light, fresh air and garden views into the lower levels. A central bridge takes you through the canopy of the garden, connecting the front of the house to the living spaces at the rear, where the views open out towards the water. Above, a soaring pitched ceiling fills the living spaces with sunlight and the fresh air of the Balmoral slopes.

The colours and materials draw from the landscape and water surrounding the home. Oak timber and natural stone sit alongside soft blues, greys and whites to create a calm, relaxed feel. In the living room, a warm fireplace and favourite piece of artwork sit alongside custom curved joinery, which gently glides to conceal the television.

It is a space designed for entertaining, but equally for everyday family life — somewhere to gather around the fire, open the doors to the water and settle in at the end of the day.

Downstairs, the more private rooms have their own intimate outlook, with views across the swimming pool towards Sydney Heads.
