Every now and then you visit a property that immediately stops you in your tracks. Designed by award-winning architect Allan Powell, this spectacular property achieves this affect. A celebration of natural beauty and contemporary architecture, the house showcases the best in exemplary design and technology.
Spread across three levels, the house has been organised into a series of interconnected but distinct spaces that take you on a wonderful journey. The combination of polished stone floors and understated forms imbue the house with a sense of elegance and refinement. A dramatic entrance with an undulating velvet wall conceals the first of many living rooms and gives a hint at the level of luxury within. The house is full of 'wow factors' including a three-storey void, which encases a couple of tall palm trees.
The first floor houses two flexible living spaces, five bedrooms - each with built-in wardrobes and one with an en suite - a conference room with integrated technology, a large study, a dining area and a kitchen concealed by joinery. Stairs or a lift transcend to the second level, which comprises more living spaces, two bedrooms, three bathrooms, a study surrounded by built-in shelving, and a kitchen and dining area. Continuing the theme of lightness and transparency, the kitchen has marble surfaces, integrated Miele appliances, a long breakfast bar and a walk-in butler's pantry. Glass doors open to the large balcony, which has views of the city skyline. The master bedroom is a new level of luxury. Spacious and opulent, the room has a large en suite and a double-sided walk-in wardrobe. The amenity here, as in the rest of the house, is vast and impressive. On the ground floor is a large pool with a water jet and spa and LED coloured lighting that provides flashes of colour and breaks up the monochrome palette. There is also a gymnasium, a Hollywood-inspired home cinema, a utilities room, a wine cellar, ample storage and a garage with room for up to 18 cars (TBC). Other exceptional appointments include a tennis court, an underground water tank, solar panels, a generator, central heating and reverse cooling, integrated PBX phone system, a sonos sound system, televisions throughout, European bath and tapware, heated flooring, sensor lighting, electric blinds and double glazed windows.
