A harmonious amplification of quiet luxury and refined innovation, this newly constructed five-bedroom suite modernist-inspired masterpiece celebrates a visionary collaboration between InForm, Pleysier Perkins and Jack Merlo that embraces its expansive north facing aspect incorporating the borrowed landscape of The Plantation nature reserve.

Setting a new benchmark in beachside Brighton East, the double-storey family home is exquisitely crafted from handmade architectural bricks. Cohesively curated, the organic aesthetic is carried from the exterior to interior, with handmade architectural bricks and tiles of varying shapes, sizes and subtly shifting hues adorning walls, paths and facias. Behind a high wall with secure video intercom entry, a sunken front garden and oversized custom solid timber pivot front hints at the home’s uncompromised design and highly engineered infrastructure. A double height void, illuminated by lineal skylights and a Soktas pendant, creates a sense of gallery-like scale, while floor-to-ceiling architectural glazing draws in an abundance of natural light and frames verdant garden outlooks from multiple aspects.

Designed to inspire a wellness-focussed living experience of family harmony and functionality, engineered timber flooring flows through the ground floor layout, which showcases an expansive north facing living and entertaining zone, with Escea gas log fireplace and marble hearth, centred around a majestic Taj Mahal marble and stainless-steel VZUG-equipped kitchen and butler’s pantry. The masterful timber-veneer joinery throughout is both beautiful and practical with an abundance of touch-to-open cabinetry and clever functionality, notably in the laundry/mud room and garage. Walls of glass glide open to extend the internal living environment into the lush garden edged by the travertine-paved under-cover alfresco pavilion with built-in Beefeater barbecue kitchen, integrated drinks fridge and a wood fireplace. The fully tiled gas/solar heated pool and spa extends along the north-facing rear boundary and is verdantly framed by the bordering nature reserve. Also on the ground floor is an executive home office, a wellness centre comprising a mirrored-wall gym space, a state-of-the-art infrared sauna, and spa-themed bathroom, while the entertaining amenity is enhanced even further with a customised temperature-controlled, steel-framed door wine room, glowing with the burgundy hues of Breccia Pernice marble.

A sculptural, open tread staircase leads to the upper level, where the spaces, dimensions and fit-out are just as impressive. There is a second living area/retreat, a mezzanine study nook, and the four lavishly appointed bedroom suites, all with pure wool carpets, walk-in robes and ensuites, including the majestic master with a custom-fitted walk-through dressing room and five-star ensuite showcasing a freestanding stone bath beneath a circular skylight. Further luxury appointments include exquisite designer sconce and pendant lighting by Soktas, Marz Designs and Volker Haug, dual VZUG multi-function ovens, an induction cooktop, Zip tap, two VZUG integrated dishwashers (kitchen and pantry), Vintec beverage centres (garage and alfresco) and dual integrated Fisher & Paykel fridge/freezers (kitchen and pantry. The floor-to-ceiling tiled bathrooms feature Ocean Blue Travertine benchtops, Rogersellar brushed nickel tapware, and heated towel rails.

Additional highlights of the 6-star energy rated home include CBUS and CONTROL4 home automation, LED strip and sensor lighting, automated blinds and linen sheers, 5-Kilowatt solar panel system, 3-phase power, a Sonos sound system with built-in internal and external speakers, CCTV security and alarm system with comms hub, an outdoor shower, a triple remote operated garage with built-in storage, workshop/bar and integrated drinks fridge.
