Icomb - A Mid Century Gem

Designed by Sydney based heritage architect Margaret Des-Grand, 'Icomb is a rare Mid-Century gem.
Set high on the hill at the top of Romaine Street, this elegant home sits comfortably in the mountains landscape.
Standing in the street the first thing to draw your attention is the construction, many Mid-Century homes gravitated towards lighter construction materials such as timber frame with fibro-cement infills which is terrific if you live on the beach, not so great if you are 1100 metres above sea-level!
Not so for Icomb, the architect very sensibly chose full brick, but the brick has been cleverly utilised where the insulating qualities are needed without compromising the light and sundrenched characteristics that make a mid-Century homes such a desirable place to be.
Being perched up high with its intriguing blank street facade the house looks like a modern day medieval keep with only one entry door to take you to the central private court-yard.
This is a terrific place to be, north facing, sheltered and drenched with winter sun, what a lovely micro-climate to enjoy those sunny cool and crisp winter days that are so prevalent in the Blackheath winters.
To the left of this entry is a wall of cedar framed floor to ceiling windows which make up the North face of the house, again, they bring all that sunshine into the main living room which is generously proportioned.
Whilst contemporary in design, the house exudes a timeless craftsman quality, in its bold robust brick detailing contrasted with Australian timbers including 'Brushbox' floors and high ceilings of selected Tasmanian Oak. The now rare Tasmanian timber 'Myrtle Beech' lines the fireplace mantle, the stairs to the bedrooms and the floor-to ceiling see through book cases. The house has gas central heating and a stunning brick fire place that forms the focus of the house. The main house bedrooms are set a few steps above the living spaces giving added privacy. Two of the three bedrooms have built in wardrobes.
The current owners have cherished this home, and have added a fun and funky parents retreat on the far side of the courtyard, this 'Pod' includes a walk in robe and a roomy bathroom as well as a spacious north facing master bedroom.
In the original house the kitchen and bathroom have also had a fresh makeover that modernise both rooms but cleverly mirror the vintage style of the original home.
