Striking, sophisticated and ingenious. The Kooyong is at the leading edge of modern home design.

The 553-square metre double storey home (60 squares) captures the essence and intelligence of exceptional contemporary design expressed through the simplicity of strong clean lines executed with exquisite precision.

The Kooyong’s design showcases style and substance, combining eye-catching geometry and articulation in its façade with an impressive upper-level cantilever and an artful arrangement of renders, timbers and glazing.

The Kooyong

Created to inspire homebuyers seeking the ultimate in contemporary luxury, The Kooyong can be scaled and customised to suit an individual client’s site, lifestyle and budget with a range of single and double storey floor plans and facades. Cleverly conceived layouts create ideal environments for modern living with seamless indoor to outdoor entertaining, multiple living zones, relaxing sanctuaries and advantageous work spaces – all bathed in abundant natural light and fresh air.

On ground level an expansive guest suite includes a large walkin wardrobe and an indulgent en suite with a double vanity and a double shower with integrated seating. The spacious open plan living, dining and kitchen zone embraces a large outdoor room for dining and entertainment, connecting via a bi-fold glass wall. There’s also a library or second living area, the laundry and a powder room and shower which can be accessed from a pool.

Upstairs the grand main suite is wrapped by a private terrace on two sides and features a 29-square metre bedroom with a large open dressing room and a spacious marble en suite with floating double vanity, freestanding bath and double length shower.

A central leisure area overlooks the library below and separates the main suite from three further queen-sized bedrooms, each with an en suite and walk-in robe. “THE GRAND MAIN SUITE OPENS TO A PRIVATE TERRACE AND FEATURES A 29-SQUARE METRE BEDROOM, A LARGE OPEN DRESSING ROOM AND A SPACIOUS MARBLE EN SUITE.”

“KOOYONG’S LUXURY IS ARTICULATED IN SPACE AND FUNCTION AS WELL AS FINISHES.”

There’s excitement in a number of reveals: the double garage door is camouflaged within precise ebony timber battens; a double study is concealed beyond the living area’s entertainment wall; the central library opens to a breath-taking glazed double-height void and a curved wall in the main bedroom screens the stunning ensuite.

The Kooyong’s exacting detail is showcased in laser-levelled square set ceilings, space defining ceiling recesses and wall projections, wall recesses for artwork and large screens and a glass wall opening to stack out of sight between dining and alfresco.

Kooyong’s luxury is articulated in space and function as well as finishes: expansive rooms are emphasised by soaring, elevated three-metre ground-floor ceilings; a beautifully integrated and finely equipped kitchen with seamless cabinetry connects to a large and highly functional butler’s pantry; and fine Italian marble flows through expansive living areas and throughout bathrooms.

As displayed The Kooyong has a six-star energy rating and its low energy GreenSmart features include double and performance glazing, passive solar design in orientation and thermal mass, room zoning, protected entries, external door seals and 75-millimetre thick concrete upper-level flooring.
