Abode

This exquisite Cera Stribley home sits a cut above. The choice of materials. The immaculate finishes. The breathtaking confluence of indoor-outdoor living. Together, they set a new bar for design and craftsmanship.

From the street, a beautiful, mature gum is like a sculptural entry piece – a prelude to the striking landscaping and natural materials to unfold.

Inside, every element – glass, mirrors, surfaces – is a work of functional art. Nothing is accidental. The precision of every line, finish and detail creates a sense of deep calm. Clean and restrained, yet never austere, the space is warmed with natural light and materials.

Timbers are used as a showpiece throughout, each distinct and still harmonious. Marble introduces another natural layer, adding depth and texture without visual noise.

With such a strong outdoor connection, the light and mood are ever-changing. Textured glass further modulates the streaming sunlight, while in the evening, subtle illumination transforms the home once again, creating an entirely different atmosphere.

Bathrooms are elevated to statement spaces in their own right, with black marble floors, dramatic lighting and a freestanding glass basin.

Outdoors, over three levels, textured plants and landscaping create a natural haven. At the upper level, a shaded retreat is framed by leafy, vine-covered boundaries, offering privacy, greenery and dappled light. This flows down to a sun-filled entertaining zone complete with BBQ, outdoor dining, generous sculptural planters and a built-in seating ledge – again, executed with the calibre of a piece of sculptural artwork.

Both outdoor zones connect seamlessly to the interiors via expansive sliding glass doors, allowing the spaces to transform into flexible indoor-outdoor environments. A bold orange retractable awning adds another layer of versatility – a striking design element when extended or entirely concealed when not in use.
