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.
