Contemporary Bentleigh

The Contemporary Residence creates a striking street-front presence, a formal expression of framed niches with sleek infill glazing banded with oxidized metal planters. The remaining architecture and timber-clad garage are comparatively recessive, embracing a quiet, minimalist tone that allows the feature façade to sing. As a family home, the design offers areas in which to come together and also spaces of retreat, featuring four bedrooms, each with an ensuite, a study, and three living spaces. Open-plan communal spaces provide an appealing atmosphere for entertaining, spilling out to the landscaped garden and pool beyond. The generous dining area provides for large gatherings of family and friends, while the kitchen island bench is an intuitive gathering point.
