Connells Point

Where scale and style meet Set on a sloping 725m² block, this knockdown rebuild replaces a 160m² mid-century modern structure with a 424.6m² contemporary home, engineered for longevity, functionality, and modern family living. The client, a construction industry professional, sought a residence built with enduring materials that could withstand the demands of a growing family while maintaining a refined aesthetic. The build prioritises solid construction, featuring double brick exterior walls for durability and single brick interior walls to enhance sound insulation– critical for a busy home. The ground floor is reinforced with a concrete slab, while the first floor utilises a suspended concrete slab, ensuring long-term structural stability. To maximise the sloping site, a step-down ground floor was incorporated, adding architectural interest while improving spatial efficiency. The basement level was transformed into a fully equipped gym, optimising the home’s footprint. The property also includes a media room, a formal lounge, and a dedicated linen storage room, providing ample space for both daily living and organisation. A hidden door in the master bedroom leads to a walk-in robe and ensuite, enhancing privacy and functionality. The modern open-plan living, dining, and kitchen space is designed for seamless indoor-outdoor integration. Full-length sliding doors, highlight windows, and a raked ceiling flood the interiors with natural light, while a kitchen splashback window enhances airflow and connection to the outdoors. The kitchen, a true centrepiece, features modern appliances, high-end fixtures, round stone benchtops, and custom cabinetry, adding a touch of modern Mediterranean elegance. Beyond the interiors, the rear alfresco space extends the home’s entertaining potential, fully equipped with tapware, a woodfire pizza oven, a barbecue, and rangehood. The seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces enhances liveability, creating a residence that is both structurally robust and designed for family connection.
