A modern masterpiece designed by award winning architect Kerstin Thompson, this unique and utterly breathtaking contemporary residence brilliantly conceived around a lush, leafy Fiona Brockhoff designed central courtyard is a serene, inviting and beautifully finished sanctuary of style and refinement.

Behind a striking white brick and green copper façade, the garden is entered through stainless steel double gates and screen. From the garden entry, bluestone stairs and a lift ascend to the main living and accommodation level commanding wonderful north-eastern views of the garden, Gardiners Creek Valley, and to the Dandenong Ranges beyond. Interior spaces featuring polished concrete floors, exposed white bricks, timber lined ceilings and joinery all of American oak all look out through floor to ceiling glass to the garden and views. The evocative dining room, dappled with light through "hit and miss" brickwork, is capably served by a state of the art marble and Corian kitchen appointed with a full suite of Wolf and Sub Zero appliances and a butler's pantry. A private superbly fitted home office is adjacent to the generous living room with a built in bar, open fire and a cosy media room. The unique western white brick wall with glass infill produces an amazing play of light while protecting the house from harsh western sunlight. Full width banks of glass slide back to connect the living spaces to the central garden below. The seductive main bedroom with walk-in dressing room, built in robes and a designer marble ensuite with claw-foot bath complements a second double bedroom with chic marble ensuite and built in robe. On the ground level, a sensational self-contained apartment featuring oak floors and concrete ceilings comprises a bedroom with stylish bathroom and built in robe and a spacious open plan living/dining room with gourmet kitchen opening to a private garden terrace. In the other ground level wing, there is a large open-air gym with a powder-room and kitchenette both concealed behind huge cedar doors. The gym area enjoys a serene outlook to the entirely private lush landscaped northeast gardens with water feature, cleverly divided into connecting "garden rooms". Clever design features of note include cedar hatches allowing ventilation and light flow, while the light-fittings in a number of rooms are by London designer, Michael Anastassiade.
