Project description

The Carcoola residence presents a sophisticated blend of French Provincial architecture, with contemporary design principles. The result is a spatially cohesive and elegantly proportioned home that balances classical detailing with modern functionality.

The formal entrance is defined by a dramatic double-height void and a sweeping staircase. Intricately crafted wrought-iron balustrades and a central chandelier establish a sense of grandeur while highlighting the symmetry and spatial hierarchy inherent in the design. The entry is both a statement of formality and an orienting device that anchors the surrounding spaces.

The heart of the home is an expansive open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area, carefully curated to foster seamless interaction between spaces. The kitchen, with its marble surfaces and contrasting dark island cabinetry, exudes timeless sophistication while maintaining functional clarity. Horizontal glazing above the countertop frames a direct visual connection to the garden, skilfully blending the interior and exterior spaces.

Across the living spaces, smooth stone-look tiles reflect natural light, enhancing the sense of volume while unifying the material palette. Muted tones dominate the interiors, their subtlety accentuated by coffered ceilings and elegant cornices, which lend depth and texture to the minimalist forms.

Externally, the residence’s façade reinterprets French Provincial principles with contemporary restraint, characterised by symmetrical columns, arched fenestrations, and articulated mouldings. This carefully ordered composition not only defines the visual identity of the residence but also establishes a dialogue with the landscaped garden and pool area. The interplay between built and natural elements is further emphasised by expansive glazing, blurring the boundary between indoors and out.
