The Ridgewood

Innately suited to urban settings, the Ridgewood makes a bold impression with a skillion roof, distinctive weatherboards and sharp render. Grounding warmth is preserved with the addition of manifestly Australian timber posts and like its elevation, the floorplan of this residence is innovative and intended to accentuate modern family life.

The entry foyer invites you to step immediately into a vast free-form living zone, a highly adaptable room that can be adjusted to reflect the changing needs of the family. Featuring an impressive raking ceiling, the room is bathed in natural light flooding in from highlight windows. Together with the kitchen, this space leads organically out to a paved alfresco for outdoor dining and entertaining.

Stretching through the core of the home is a gallery-style hallway, an extended blank canvas lit from the alfresco running alongside. A dedicated home office is tucked away here, secluded and private.

Toward the rear of the home is an expansive activity zone serving as the threshold for the children’s bedrooms. This is a versatile area that can either be opened to the yard with sliding doors, or closed off from the rest of the home, containing noise and transforming the back of the home into a private wing.
