This house by Gremmo Homes has been recognised at the prestigious Master Builders Association of NSW Excellence in Housing Awards in the Contract Houses category ($1.8 Million–$2 Million).
The Zenith Residence is a modern, luxurious two-storey house with a sleek and contemporary architectural design. The exterior features a combination of white and dark grey tones, complemented by glass balustrades and large windows that enhance natural lighting. The design integrates horizontal and vertical lines, geometric shapes, and modern finishes, making it stand out in a high-end residential area.
The sloped block presented a challenge during construction, resolved through the integration of tiered landscaping and strategic floor level adjustments. A staircase with angular steps leads to the main entrance, finished with external tiles and highlighted at night with feature lighting.
The entrance unfolds into a breathtaking foyer that exemplifies modern luxury. High ceilings, white walls, and luxurious marble-look tiles with a polished finish create a seamless blend of contemporary sophistication. A seating area invites guests to admire the natural light streaming through the expansive floor-to-ceiling windows.
Directly ahead, a striking floating staircase with glass balustrades leads to the upper level, where an open mezzanine overlooks the grand entry. The staircase, designed with a contemporary aesthetic, features custom spotted gum timber treads fixed to a steel mono-string in matt black. Moving forward, the foyer seamlessly transitions into the main living space, where an open-plan layout continues the home’s grandeur and openness.
The living area is designed for both relaxation and entertainment, with a feature fireplace and TV wall. Polytec wall panelling highlights the wall-mounted TV. To the right, a luxurious feature corner fireplace is finished floor-to-ceiling in high-gloss Atlas Concorde Fleury Grey tiles.
Adjacent is the dining area, with a modern gold chandelier that casts a warm and inviting glow, acting as both a functional and artistic statement piece.
Dividing the space is a geometric feature wall, an architectural highlight that subtly separates the entrance from the adjoining living spaces while maintaining an open, flowing layout. The interplay between grey tones, timber, and a crisp white backdrop creates a sophisticated contrast, reinforcing the home’s modern and luxurious ambiance.
The kitchen is a masterpiece of contemporary design, combining sleek aesthetics with high functionality. The cabinetry colour palette has been specifically curated to a refined mix of dark matte cabinetry in fuscous grey, warm timber accents, and a Talostone Imperial Danby benchtop, creating a striking yet balanced contrast that aligns with the rest of the house. The island bench serves as the centrepiece of the space, with dramatic waterfall edges.
The full-height dark cabinetry on the surrounding walls acts as a hidden butler’s pantry, ensuring abundant storage while contributing to the sophisticated, seamless appeal of the kitchen. A defining architectural element of this space is the geometric vertical feature wall that subtly partitions the kitchen from the adjacent living areas.
The strategic placement of these vertical lines enhances the feeling of height while maintaining openness, reinforcing the modern, clean aesthetic of the residence.
Upstairs opens up to a shared TV area, four bedrooms, and an open-plan study nook. The main gallery walkway acts as a mezzanine with a continued glass balustrade from the staircase.
The master suite opens up to a private balcony incorporated into the front façade and a spacious walk-in robe. The master ensuite exudes sophisticated elegance, combining dark grey stone tiles, a sculptural freestanding bath, and a sleek floating double vanity for a spa-like retreat.
The outdoor alfresco effortlessly extends from the living and dining spaces through expansive sliding glass doors. Outside, a spacious covered patio offers the perfect setting for alfresco dining and relaxation. Above is a pool area framed with a glass balustrade. Tiered landscaping seamlessly integrates with the challenging slope, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and structural integrity.
The Zenith Residence truly sets the tone for a luxurious and sophisticated lifestyle.
JUDGES’ COMMENTS: A very well-built two-storey home offering great value. The gyprock detailing was excellent, and the polished marble flooring adds a touch of elegance, resulting in a high-quality, visually appealing result.
