With its unique cubic structure, opposing mix of horizontal and vertical lines, and abundance of natural materials, the Wakefield is a modernist’s dream.

But despite its contemporary appearances, this two-storey townhouse is very much a traditional family home at heart, with considered interior flow and spacious living quarters.

The modern, north-facing family home is both warm and light, with stacker doors and windows that open up the heart of the interior out to the timber deck and patios.

The warm ambience is continued with a double-height white-washed batten feature wall in the entrance. This look is echoed on the balustrade and on the upstairs void that overlooks the entrance.

The kitchen area has an engineered stone benchtop and high-end appliances, while the scullery provides more workspace and storage. Windows placed directly over the sinks offer serene views out to the garden.

“The large kitchen, scullery, and dining/family area captures all-day sun and opens to a deck for easy enter¬taining,” Debbie remarks.

“Plus, a cavity slider can connect or shut off the lounge from this open space.”

Upstairs, there’s also a quiet mezzanine, a spot to sit and read or relax. The generous-sized master suite is an oasis of calm, with a soothing palette and layers of luxe, organic fabrics such as cotton and wool. Spacious in floor size, this is complemented by large windows, bringing in plenty of natural light and giving the room a relaxed feeling.

An adjacent walk-in wardrobe and luxury ensuite create a corner of privacy that feels removed from the other bedrooms and downstairs living areas.
