Perched on the hills of Kew East, this two-storey family home balances privacy and outlook. A restrained palette of pale masonry and dark grey metalwork is softened by timber cladding that brings warmth to the sheltered entry, while a concealed garage maintains a calm threshold. The north-facing front facade draws winter light into the arrival spaces and deep into the plan. Primary living spaces are arranged to the rear, while the upper rooms capture treetop views for a serene retreat.
