Three levels of dark metal cladding, timber and floor-to-ceiling glass step along the hillside. At the centre, a double-height atrium lined in black marble and roofed in glass carries daylight down through the house.

Outside, a long infinity pool runs the length of the terrace, with a sport court below and planted walls tying the levels to the slope. These photographs follow the build from the open roof deck and floor installation to the finished house.

From site to finish

How this project developed.

01 The build

Built in the open

Mid-build, with the roof decks still open and the terraces unfinished. Our crews set the pedestal paving on the upper deck and laid the stone floors inside, beside the installed glass walls.

02 The finish

Finished and handed over

The same house complete: terraces furnished, pool filled, the atrium open to the sky, and the slope planted from the sport court to the roofline.

Design philosophy

Light through the centre of the house

The atrium is the spine of the plan: every main room opens onto it or onto the view, so light and sight lines run from the glass roof to the pool edge.
