oak house

a new duplex townhouse in essendon, oak takes a restrained approach to contemporary living. soft natural finishes, pale timber joinery and oak flooring establish a warm foundation, allowing light and material to define the spaces.

a curved fireplace and continuous stone hearth provide a sculptural focal point. taj mahal stone connects the lower-floor interiors, extending through the kitchen island and splashback. integrated lighting, open shelving and a concealed door to the butler’s pantry maintain the clarity of the design.

careful coordination between the clients, design team, builder and specialist trades brings precision to the minimal detailing. construction is nearing completion.
