A stylish mid century family Home – Custom Design

This stylish mid-century family home is designed to maximise a 16-metre-wide block with breathtaking park views to the front. Seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living, the double-storey residence ensures every angle captures the surrounding scenery and natural light.

The Brief

The clients requested a home that maximises the block’s potential and park views while providing a family-friendly, resort-like atmosphere. Key requirements included:

  • Open-plan living at the front to enjoy the park views

  • Harmonious views from every bedroom with a hotel-inspired feel

  • Three bedrooms upstairs and a guest bedroom downstairs

  • Activity/theatre room and a secluded library space

  • A pool area for the kids

The Design

The home’s design separates the garage from the main living spaces, creating a front-facing alfresco and kitchen area that fully embraces the scenic views. Minor bedrooms overlook the central pool, giving a resort-style feel throughout the home. Carefully chosen materials, colours, and layout create harmony, functionality, and a sense of luxury. The clients were thrilled with the result, noting how the design perfectly met their brief.

Key highlights include:

  • Detached garage for optimal front views and outdoor living

  • Central pool providing a resort-style feel for all bedrooms

  • Activity/theatre room and private library for family enjoyment

  • Seamless integration of indoor and outdoor living spaces

  • Mid-century design elements with modern finishes
