Custom Home Showcasing Nature Amoungst Tranquil Surrounds

Taking pride of place in Sydney’s North Shore, Killara House had a critical element in its design brief: allow as much natural light in as possible.

This custom home built was brought to life for a professional couple who needed space available for their young, growing family. Our team embraced the brief with gusto, looking to utilise natural light to showcase the home’s natural timber finishes, creating a harmonious effect with its leafy and tranquil surrounds. 

A beautiful timber front door opens into an impressive foyer, lit up by overhead windows and finished with a modern chandelier. The staircase creates a sense of floating suspension, beckoning you up to the vast second floor. 

Directly off the foyer is a luxurious dining room, fit for dinner parties and lazy breakfasts alike. Floor-to-ceiling glass drench the space in light.

The kitchen celebrates both natural light and man-made, with light fixtures and strips playing a key role in its warm glow. Thick Caesarstone benches with waterfall edges create an easy space to navigate in the bustle of preparing a family meal, with a galley shape offering thoughtful accessibility to the practical needs of the space. A second living and dining space extends off the kitchen, creating more zones for rest and entertainment for this growing family. 

Upstairs, family bedrooms are drenched in beautiful light. Crisp white finishes and warm, neutral floor tones create welcome and invitation, with subtle textures providing focal points of interest within each of the bathrooms. 

The outside is truly welcomed with the sprawling outdoor entertaining area, complete with barbecue, pool lounge deck, oversized eating area, pool and yard. Whether first thing in the morning or over a final glass of wine at night, this backyard is truly what family dreams are made of, with space to grow over years to come.
