Keam House
This luxury home in Ivanhoe has a deceptively subtle façade concealing grand interiors and a breathtaking view
This contemporary and spacious family home located in Ivanhoe was designed to exceed the expectations of a discerning client. The previous architect was replaced as the client desired a four-bedroom contemporary home that would fit seamlessly on the sloping block while taking advantage of the breathtaking views. The client also sought to create a serene and private urban oasis for their family.
The house's pavilion-style design was intended to blend in with the neighbourhood while ensuring neighbouring properties continued to enjoy the picturesque views. The house's main entry is central, featuring a grand staircase with full-width skylights that flood the area with natural light, providing stunning views of the mountains.
The living spaces, which take advantage of the northern light and stunning views of the south, are situated on the street level. These spaces are unified by a 20-meter carved timber and stone joinery element that includes a TV unit, storage, display, kitchen, and an outdoor BBQ area.
The land's natural incline disguises a second level beneath the street level, which includes parking, secondary bedrooms, and living spaces. This level opens to a private oasis at the back, featuring a luxury raised pool and garden.
