Enjoying the convenience of a central Brighton address, this Col Bandy residence redefines contemporary living with architectural ease. Inspired by the design brilliance of Mexico’s Luis Barragan, the home showcases a mastery of light, colour and style. Vibrant gardens seamlessly merge with luminous indoor spaces, while vast outdoor areas enhance the property’s al fresco abundance.
Striking from the outset, mature trees and tall rendered pillars create a lasting impression that continues throughout every aspect of the home. A sun-catching internal courtyard is a focal point with its azure feature wall and soaring panes of moveable glass blurring the lines between inside and out. Towering pears provide superior privacy to the leafy, rear courtyard boasting an automatic shade awning, built-in BBQ and ample space to dine al fresco or relax in the dappled sunshine.
Connected by an internal lift or timber staircase, open plan interiors imbue a sense of light and scale with the ground level dedicated to living and entertaining. A gourmet kitchen flaunts a thick, luxe Calacatta island along with a Smeg 900mm oven and gas cooktop, dishwasher and large walk-in pantry. Huge windows frame Mediterranean-style outlooks from generous lounge and dining spaces, while a mosaic tiled laundry and bathroom complete the ground floor.
Superbly zoned accommodation provides the flexibility of a third bedroom with an upper level kids, teen or guest quarters featuring a robed bedroom, large lounge/home office/bedroom, deluxe bathroom and front/rear balconies. Floating above the internal courtyard, the enormous main bedroom is a luxurious retreat encompassing a Calacatta vanity en suite, fitted walk-in dressing room and expansive sunset terrace.
This extraordinary home was custom-built by Bandy, a student of the renowned Post-modernist architect movement in Beaumaris, for the artist in residence. Easy-care and filled with beautiful bespoke details as well as wine storage, ducted heating/cooling, ducted vacuum, automatic blinds, alarm system and remote double garage. Equidistant to Church and Bay street with shops, restaurants, cinemas, city transport, Brighton Grammar, Firbank, parkland and the beach so close by.
