ESSENDON
RESIDENCE
C&BD was charged with creating a large modern family home from the three-bedroom residence which was present on this amazing elevated site in West Essendon. The client wished to retain as much of the existing building structure as possible, which provided a challenging design task. The site conditions presented further hurdles due to the considerable slope and a "no go zone" power easement cutting diagonally across one third. The resulting tri-level five-bedroom residence is a unique angled building with hidden complexity. A striking addition to the neighbourhood.

ROLE
Lead Designer
The elevated living area and large windows provide for great views towards the city and Maribyrnong River.
The combination of charcoal standing seam cladding, recycled clinker bricks and cement render creates a perfect contrast.
The feature timber stair provides a warm divergence from the crisp white walls and porcelain floor tiles.
In addition to the stunning kitchen, a substantial butler's pantry, with abundant extra storage, was incorporated into the design.
