Englehart Homes Project 9

Designed and built by Englehart Homes, this classic and luxurious home cuts a distinctive silhouette against the skyline. Combining strong façade elements and a statement entry porch, the clever multi-level design takes full advantage of the narrow sloping site and has been used to great dramatic and practical effect.

With its northern orientation and views blending effortlessly with the surrounding landscape, every aspect of this home has been carefully considered to create a floor plan that is light, spacious and accessible at all times.

This is particularly evident at the rear of the house, where the central living area has been designed to create a seamless transition from the indoor to the outdoor entertaining area via bi-folding doors.

The indoor/outdoor space allows the clients to enjoy the company of guests inside and out. By blurring and relaxing the distinctions between spaces, Englehart Homes has created a comfortable ambience in both the garden and the home’s dedicated entertaining spaces.

The generous open-plan kitchen features an abundance of storage space and work areas, including a huge pantry with a concealed appliance bench, making it an entertainer’s delight.

A vibrant colour palette and clever lighting work together harmoniously to ensure the adjoining dining and living area exhibit a sense of spaciousness, while expansive windows provide a bright outlook and take in the views offered by the elevated site.

The northern orientation of the rear of the home has also maximised its energy-efficiency, with year-round solar access ensuring ample natural light is able to permeate the interior space.

The building design, combined with elevated flooring, minimal west-facing windows and high-efficiency heating, as well as the use of high value thermal insulation and extensive double-glazing, ensures excellent thermal efficiency.

The construction and finishes used throughout the design are of the highest quality, as Englehart Homes continues to maintain longstanding relationships with tradespeople who produce outstanding quality workmanship.

Evoking great integrity and attention to detail, the final design represents a refined home with a comfortable living environment and dramatic street presence that is also complements its unique location.

For Englehart Homes, the right business partner has to provide more than a quality product. It also strives to provide a business system that recognises the importance of a relationship and the need to provide the appropriate support and services that will help achieve excellence.

These partnerships must also provide some elements of exclusivity that perfectly complement the Englehart Homes brand, as well as the company’s objectives of innovation and value for money.
