This architectural masterpiece by luxury home designers Johnstone & Johnson blends cutting edge contemporary design with a deep connection to nature. From the street, this spectacular minimalist residence presents as a single-storey facade, modestly concealing the expansive home that has been masterfully integrated within the stunning natural landscape.
The exterior of this Palm Beach custom home features off-form concrete, creating a robust and contemporary look, complemented by a monolithic stacked stone blade wall that extends across all three levels. This impressive stone element not only adds a dramatic visual impact but also reinforces the home’s structural integrity, essential given the site’s bushfire rating. Timber batten screening adds privacy to the the home’s entry pivot door and the two sets of double panel lift garage doors, providing a warm, natural contrast to the concrete and stone.
The expansive 450sqm of meticulously designed living space, ensures both comfort and style for its occupants. Upon entering, visitors are greeted by an open staircase flanked by the imposing stone blade wall on one side and a three-storey glass box on the other. This architectural feature floods the interior with natural light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere across all levels. The glass box not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also frames expansive views over Pittwater, ensuring that the stunning natural scenery remains a constant presence in the home.
The interior is designed with both functionality and luxury in mind. The open-plan kitchen, living, and dining areas form the heart of the home, perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. Consistent with the minimalist aesthetic, the kitchen is fully equipped with a butler’s pantry which conceals clutter, and a hidden cellar cut into the rock adds a touch of intrigue to the residence.
Five spacious bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms provide ample accommodation, with the master retreat occupying the top floor. This private sanctuary offers a perfect escape, ensuring peace and tranquility for the homeowners, away from the hustle and bustle of family life.
This luxury home design extends the living spaces outdoors, reflecting the client’s love for the connection to the outside environment. Green roofs throughout the property contribute to this seamless integration, blending the home into its lush surroundings of scribbly gum trees, ferns, banana palms, and sandstone rock outcrops. The infinity-edge pool further enhances the outdoor living experience, offering a luxurious spot to relax and enjoy the natural beauty.
Attention to detail is evident in every corner of the home. The exterior cladding of stacked stone and the polished concrete paving, decking, and main flooring emphasize the home’s modern yet earthy aesthetic. A custom stone freestanding bathtub adds a touch of luxury to the bathrooms, creating a spa-like experience for the residents.
This spectacular Palm Beach custom home is a testament to Johnstone and Johnson’s innovative approach to luxury home design that respects and enhances its natural environment. The use of heavy-weight concrete, stacked stone, and extensive glass elements ensures that the home is both robust and visually stunning. This property is not just a house but a sanctuary, offering privacy, luxury, and a connection with nature.
