Custom Designed Homes

There’s nothing like the feeling of being one with nature and for a couple in Victoria, the process of building their dream home had to follow this same philosophy. Surrounded by native bushland, the property’s prime location in a newly developed estate became the inspiration for the home’s interesting dimension and modern architectural design.

Bellemore Homes was assigned the task of transforming the couple’s vision into reality. The house was built over four levels to accommodate the initial four- to five-metre fall, sloping downwards on the property, with extensive balconies and decks incorporated into the design to off er uninterrupted views of the natural surrounds. As it was, with the large downhill slope, the small area of land to build on and the large size of the house, the designers were required to work with the topography rather than against it

This home makes the most of expansive indoor and outdoor living space to allow for luxurious entertaining in any season.  A hand-cut marble compass is inlaid in the marble flooring of the homes central entry foyer.  From here the design opens straight into a large formal living area and to the right continues up a curved staircase laid with delicate cream bordered carpet.

A light, airy atmosphere dominates the interior with cream tones punctuated by carefully selected furnishings.  Glazed café doors open from each of the living rooms and views of the dendenong ranges can be glimpsed through large windows in the lounge, entry, bedrooms, study, laundry and family room.

Outside, an elaborate swimming pool and spa area with cascading waterfall creates a beautiful entertaining are and relaxing space.  The pool is visible from all the main living areas so it can be enjoyed even on cloudy days.

This stunning home in Kew draws its inspiration from the Bellemore Homes "Newport" display home.  The geometric shapes of the front facade are highligted through the use of feature materials.  Rockfaced bricks draw attention to the large horizontal windows of the front lounge, while the lengthy front prtico invites you into the home.  Once inside, curved walls add a striking feature to the front entry and lounge.
 
The use of the upstairs landing as a study space brings light and openess to a room that would otherwise be cold and secluded.  Spacious family and living areas adjoin the kitchen, and open out onto the outdoor meals area to create a fantastic for entertaining.  The hidden buttler's pantry features stone benchtops and Imperite cupboards to match the main kitchen, and allows a second convenient space for food preperation. 
 
A covered upstairs balcony connected to the master bedroom, creates a private retreat, while also overlooking a spacious outdoor area.  Overall this house is designed with functionality and family areas in mind, and creates a good relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces.
