Cottonwood is an iconic residence that has undergone a remarkable transformation, seamlessly marrying contemporary design with its original architectural brilliance. Acquired by Shaun and Julie Lockyer, the home's rejuvenation by SLa highlights a harmonious synergy between structural and natural elements. The integration of design-focused landscaping, new lighting, and a striking Axis i1000 freestanding double sided wood fireplace has revitalized the space, while the interior decor, art, and meticulous attention to detail have breathed new life into every corner.

Originally envisioned by Richard Kirk Architect, the house's timeless design found new champions in the Lockyers, who recognized the potential to honor its legacy while infusing it with their distinctive touch. The project's core was to revive the home's inherent beauty, enhancing its connection to the picturesque landscape and water features. The addition of stone cladding and removal of boundary fencing aligns the structure with its lush surroundings, creating an inviting synergy with the adjacent crown land. The interior transformation, meticulously curated, has imparted a resort-like ambiance that pays homage to the original vision while embracing modernity.

Cottonwood stands as a testament to the Lockyers' vision, honoring the past while crafting a contemporary haven that resonates with the sub-tropical lifestyle. The integration of the Axis i1000 freestanding double sided wood fireplace, strategically placed atop a sleek black steel bench within the expansive open-plan living area, not only adds to the home's aesthetic allure but also embodies the marriage of form and function. This project eloquently speaks to the transformative power of design, where collaboration between architectural heritage and modernity results in a dwelling that is both an architectural masterpiece and a functional sanctuary.

Shadowy Sophistication

The deliberate selection of a dark color palette in Cottonwood stands as a bold design choice that exudes sophistication and depth. This aesthetic decision resonates throughout the residence, from the exterior shutters to the pool tiling, and culminates with the commanding Axis i1000 freestanding double sided wood fireplace.

The darkness serves as a canvas upon which the subtropical surroundings are masterfully showcased, creating a dynamic interplay between the vivid outdoor landscape and the interior's refined elegance. This cohesive fusion of color echoes the Lockyers' intent to embrace and enhance the architectural elements, unifying them into a harmonious symphony of design that is both daring and visually captivating.
