Sand & Stone is a residence defined by grand scale, meticulous craftsmanship, and enduring elegance
Originally conceived by Argos Design and expertly constructed by Balcombe Constructions, this home exemplifies thoughtful attention to detail both inside and out.
Rylock was delighted to work alongside Balcombe Constructions in delivering bespoke window and door solutions tailored specifically for this project. From initial specification through to final installation, the collaboration was driven by a mutual dedication to quality, precision, and superior design performance.
Shaping Light, Landscape, and Living Areas
Rylock products have been thoughtfully integrated across the residence to maximise natural light, encourage ventilation, and create seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces.
At the front of the home, a striking Hinged Door framed by Fixed Lite Panels with obscured glass offers both privacy and architectural impact. A smooth-operating roller catch ensures a seamless and refined user experience.
In the office, a 2.6-metre-wide Awning Window frames views of the surrounding garden, creating a calm and connected workspace. In the main bedroom, a combination of a large Awning Window and Fixed Lite Window above the bed provides a soft outlook while maintaining privacy. Translucent glass has been used in the walk-in robe and ensuite, balancing natural light with a sense of seclusion.
In the kitchen, a pair of motorised Awning Windows are positioned in perfect symmetry on either side of the stovetop—creating a bold architectural statement while delivering effective airflow and effortless operation. This design continues into the pantry, where a 1.8-metre-wide motorised Awning Window enhances ventilation and brings a refined touch to a typically utilitarian space.
The laundry features a Hinged Door with an integrated security screen—offering safety without compromising on a streamlined aesthetic.
A four-panel, centre-opening Sliding Door links the generous living area with the landscaped outdoor entertaining zone—spanning 4.7 metres to create a seamless indoor–outdoor living experience. A linear drain allows for a flush, zero-threshold transition between interior and exterior spaces.
A similar approach is echoed in the home gym, where a sliding door opens directly to the outdoor shower and garden, reinforcing the home’s focus on flow, openness, and lifestyle integration.
Behind the Design: Engineered for Performance
Behind the clean lines and elegant finishes of Sand & Stone lies a foundation of high-performance features. Double glazing, advanced Low-e coatings, precision sealing systems, and wrap integration all contribute to the home’s strong energy efficiency. A tailored mix of Toughened Low-e Comfort Solution and Solar Solution glazing was used— with Solar Solution strategically placed on west-facing elevations to help regulate heat gain.
True to Rylock’s commitment to local excellence, all systems were engineered and manufactured in Australia, ensuring compliance with local standards and the flexibility to meet on-site requirements.
Sand & Stone is a testament to thoughtful collaboration, refined design, and skilled craftsmanship—where every detail is considered. With Rylock windows and doors seamlessly integrated, the result is a home that balances performance, comfort, and timeless appeal.
