AWARD-WINNING MODERNIST IN GARDEN OASIS
This superbly zoned 6BR residence is undoubtedly one of the inner north's most remarkable modern homes, winner of the ARCHITEAM 2012 award for Best Design-Residential-New and recently the subject of a chapter in Stuart Harrison's New Sub-Urban. Acclaimed Belgian architect Daniel van Cleemput was commissioned to design a free-flowing home on a large site (545 sqm approx) surrounded by gardens, to accommodate communal living as well as private, peaceful outdoor spaces. Van Cleemput has realised this vision in an innovative modernist oasis set within the walls of a former factory.
This stunning contemporary home is sympathetic to its industrial roots with the use of raw finishes, and by exposing its skeleton through translucent panelling which adds lightness to its structure and brightness to its interiors.
Designed to be generous and spacious, it is divided into three ingeniously separated living zones which face expansive green-walled gardens, one of which is a striking terraced 'hillside'. There are open areas and private spaces, light-drenched rooms with garden aspects, and living areas which flow seamlessly through sliding glass walls to the lush garden surrounds.
This exceptional residence includes generous family living and dining areas, a custom-built kitchen, a tranquil covered outdoor 'room' and spa, large bright studio, laundry and powder rooms. The upper level parents' retreat includes the master bedroom, its own lounge and bathroom, and features an innovative bespoke storage 'pod' housing a kitchenette, wardrobe and study; it opens directly to the hilltop garden. The children's bedroom zone has its own living and study space, 5 double bedrooms (all with garden aspects), 2 shower rooms and separate WC.
The innovative design has all the amenities one might expect of a large family home. Practical and sustainable elements include extensive storage, a turntable to access the multi-car garage and workshop, slab heating, refrigerated air conditioning, cross-flow ventilation and double glazing, solar hot water, green-curtain walls and a 20,000 litre underground water tank.
'The Haddow House' is a superb mix of modernist and industrial concepts and a masterpiece of timeless contemporary design.
