A visionary home with wide green views, this is the benchmark in blue-chip family living. Offering a rare combination of architectural integrity and family functionality, Ambience is a notable tri-level design from DKO Architecture...set on the playing-fields of Firbank. Instantly recognisable for its clean-lined corner presence, this home rises above basement garaging with a versatile six bedroom, 3.5 bathroom design featuring up to four living zones, entertaining areas inside and out, and suites upstairs and down...all linked by two staircases and a ‘floating’ glass-corridor.
Designed to accommodate every style of family lifestyle in a dedicated ground-floor parents’ domain opening to a private walled garden, the home provides a secondary first-floor suite for adult-children, guests or staff beyond the secondary stairway...and gives children their own dedicated wing high above the pool.
Endlessly entertaining with expansive formal and casual zones separated by a glass-walled entry, and a relaxed lounge centred on the first floor, this well-considered home offers more living in an over-sized sixth bedroom (wired to double as media lounge or quiet sitting-room to service the second-suite) ...and more outdoors with extensive poolside al fresco spaces.
Uncompromising by design, the home entertains at an unparalleled level with an elite Miele and Electrolux kitchen (with integrated fridge and ‘secret’ butler’s pantry) fronted by a dining-bench faced with a vast slab of Calacatta marble...and supplemented by commercial-quality BBQ kitchen (with every appliance from high-capacity rangehood to ice-maker).
Bringing form and function together with gallery-like spaces rising to a sculptural display unit, the home blurs the boundaries inside to out with meticulously matched flooring flowing inside and out, and walls of double-glazing sliding away with bi-fold and stacking doors. Even the cantilevered roofline of the principal al fresco area extends over the mosaic-tiled pool and spa to catch a striking ellipse of sky!
Richly curated with premium stones, Australian hardwoods and porcelain tiles, the home’s multi-zone climate-control is supplemented hydronic heating (including ground-floor in-floor) and multiple gas-fireplaces. With every appointment from automated blinds and external louvres, to Sonos audio, to a gentle gradient for the six-car auto-gated basement, the home sets the standard in family-focused architect design in an artfully-lit low-maintenance landscape.
A towering presence on the playing-fields of Firbank, even the location is immensely family-wise, minutes’ walk to Brighton Grammar and Brighton Primary, and a stroll to Church St (750m) and Bay St (350m), stations and the bay.
