MIRAGE HOUSE
Mirage House presents a low-key yet striking presence from the street, with its single-story design elegantly standing out from the streetscape. The brick façade, extending down the side laneway, is divided into two distinct sections that enhance visual interest. The building follows the natural slope of the hill,
incorporating both an upper storey and a lower ground floor. The lower storey features a mix of brick and rendered walls, while the upper storey showcases elegant hardwood cladding that transitions into a batten screen. This screen not only provides sun protection but also offers privacy from northern neighbours. The timber-clad garage door seamlessly merges with the batten screen and sliding door, leading to a welcoming entrance courtyard. Upon entering, the entrance corridor guides you towards the kitchen and dining area, fostering a warm and inviting atmosphere. This space
then opens up into the double-height living area, enhancing the sense of openness. A bridge within this double-height void connects to the guest room, contributing to the home’s spacious feel. The extensive glazing of the double-storey façade allows the living room to effortlessly flow into the outdoor entertaining area and pool, making it an ideal setting for both relaxation and hosting guests. The layout prioritizes both comfort and functionality, ensuring that the kitchen, dining, lounge, and outdoor spaces are designed for easy and enjoyable entertaining.
At the rear of the house, privacy is carefully considered with two bedrooms located on the ground floor, and a master suite on the upper level featuring a walk-in closet, en-suite bathroom, and sauna. The basement adds to the home’s practicality with a gym, a four-car garage, and a wine cellar, offering ample space for everyday living. Mirage House combines stylish design with practical living, creating a versatile and comfortable environment for both family life and entertaining.
