In the leafy Eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria this double-story masterpiece, aptly named Sanctuary, delivers a unique oasis. The site has been carefully designed to work with the cross fall of the land and a beautiful mature oak tree, which is central to the home’s courtyard vista.

Fixed Lite Windows and Stacker Doors envelop the central courtyard throughout the entire home, on both levels. The entry, generous in proportions, is enhanced by a 6-metre high Fixed Lite Window, that floods the foyer with light and provides another vantage point to the luxurious outdoor entertaining space.

The home’s front façade, with upper white volume, natural timber cladding and extensive high performance Fixed Lite Windows, are met by graphic detailing, delivered by the stunning curved feature brickwork. Upstairs, the ensuite’s focal feature is the generous bathtub, positioned to view the oak tree and garden beyond, through an expansive Awning Window with an openable sash for ventilation, custom designed to sit well above the occupant’s sightlines.

Fluid blends can be seen throughout the home’s architecture, with a seamless transition from inside to out, aided by the 3-metre high Stacker Doors which feature a rebated sill, allowing occupants to transition to the courtyard with ease – whilst yielding a great sense of connection to the outdoors.
