Timing the secret of a classic beauty

I

am forever in awe of projects that manage to masterfully blend contemporary references with existing heritage elements, creating an aesthetic that effortlessly straddles both yet ultimately feels neither one or the other. Projects where designers and architects have shifted embedded visual time references that come with the bones of a heritage home and shaped them into a result all of its own.

Enter Peppertree Villa in Sydney’s Bellevue Hill. The grand old home’s late 1920s art deco aesthetic forms the foundation for the classical, neutral mood that prevails in the entire project.

Apart from being a total knockout, what I love most about this house is its ability to convey a new take on a heritage aesthetic by almost transcending the idea of time and shifting

preconceived visual cues we subconsciously might expect to see.

Having completed the renovation of the adjacent house, which shares the vast canopy of the centennial peppertree at the summit of Bellevue Hill, Luigi Rosselli Architects were engaged for significant structural improvements for this project too. They focused on delivering better flows between multiple living spaces, creating a direct link to a new garden, adding an attic room and a backyard swimming pool, and relocating the garage into the basement.

Another significant addition was the new staircase that connected the two new levels to the rest of the house, providing an elegant climb to the bedrooms on the upper floors.

Taking the form of a suspended ribbon, the

sculptural stair is finished in stucco lucido (Italian polished plaster) topped by brass railing crafted on-site.

On the ground floor, the architects replaced small timber windows with large steel-framed openings that offer uncluttered views onto a new Myles Baldwin-designed garden where the peppertree still stands.

The interiors by Alwill Interiors take things to the next level with a rich and complex palette that perfectly harmonises with the bones of the home, at times making it impossible to discern where history stops and modernity begins.

palette, while the kids’ en suites surprise, with pastel colours driven by the concept of each space appearing as a box of macarons.

And let’s not forget the main en suite. Holy guacamole! The luxurious timber and marble interior features a centrally located freestanding bath, taking pride of place in what was once a sunroom, with views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, no less.

Sure, this remarkable home is the result of a serious ka-ching kind of budget in one of Sydney’s most exclusive suburbs, but this combination doesn’t always guarantee success.

Nor does it deliver the sort of house that makes me feel elated and inspired, like this one. yellowtrace.com.au

Neue Grand apartments offer spectacular panoramas.

Buyers, you have the floor Only full-floor apartments deliver true 360-degree views, a concept embraced at the luxurious Neue Grand apartments.

F

ull-floor living is the new frontier in the luxury apartment market. These entire-floor apartments tend to not only surprise buyers with their generous space, but also challenge their perception that apartments are restricted living environments.

With their expansive living zones and spacious bedrooms, these huge apartments also have the bonus of acting as a handy next step for those transitioning from houses. The sheer amount of space available in full-floor apartments often gives residents the same, if not more, space.

Melbourne’s 20-storey Neue Grand apartment tower by developer Growland is setting a benchmark for full-floor apartment living.

Each of the 18 opulent apartments in the St Kilda Road development occupies a full-floor ranging from 319.1 square metres to 710.8 square metres.

Shane Rothe, founding principal and director at architecture firm Rothelowman, says Neue Grand sets itself apart from many projects on the luxury market by offering only full-floor apartments.

“What excites me as an architect is working on a project where it is large in scale, but boutique in nature,” he says. “I think a 20-storey building with only 18 apartments is unusual. Normally with a 20-storey building of this size, you might have 100 apartments.

“But because these are larger scale apartments and there’s only one per floor, it becomes more boutique because there are fewer occupants in the building, so you have fewer neighbours.

“Having a single floor where you’re the only occupant of the floor, I think it feels more secure and more like a home.”

With views to enjoy from the floor-to-ceiling

windows from the entire perimeter of the apartments, residents will also be spoilt for choice.

“When you have a whole floor apartment, you see the Dandenongs, you see the bay, you see the city, you see the lake – it doesn’t matter where you are in that floor plate, you have got a view,” he says. “I think that’s rare. So these apartments have everything you’d expect of a quality space.”

Another show-stopping detail of the project is the sky garages. As the name implies, these garages will be located at the heights of the apartments. Cars will be carried upwards in German-designed auto-lifts to each apartment and parked in glass display cases.

The penthouse features four lofty car spaces and two more in the basement, while the remaining 17 apartments will have two sky garages and one basement car space each.

While access to the apartments is private, there are also shared spaces for residents to socialise such as a gym, private lounge, dining room and a 24-hour concierge.
