Stradbroke Residence holds precision and warmth in the same breath, a family home organised around a dramatic central void. Our clients wanted light-filled living, so the plan turns inward on that vertical space, drawing soft daylight down into a series of lower-ground rooms that might otherwise sit in shade, and now draped in inviting lightness. From the street, a stone-clad façade carries through into the home, where bespoke white terrazzo floors bring a clean European calm underfoot.

Through the void, a graphic blackened steel stair rises as the home’s centre, drawing long sightlines out to a sunken terrace lined with maple trees and opening the interior to the landscape beyond. Wall planes shift from stone to deep timber and glass, framing sculptural joinery and custom furniture. A floating credenza runs the length of the living space to meet a refined kitchen finished in fine metal detailing. Above, the private rooms become inviting, hotel-inspired retreats – timber-lined headboards, integrated lighting and curtains combine for spaces that feel at once elevated and easeful.
