This recently completed Toorak home offers a masterstroke of design calm amid a local streetscape of diverse styles including a neighbouring school, robust retail, and commercial. 

Designed by FGR Architects, the 5-bedroom home offers a metaphor of a folded, pleated ‘concrete curtain’ giving rise to a residence of fluent tranquillity. A combination of slender form, finishes and joinery contribute to the entire ensemble as a refined work of art.

The influences are blurred and adapted to the residence, with an appreciation of, rather than aping, the Japanese modern aesthetic. Concrete and glass provide the building blocks as ‘fortress’ and lookout – for privacy and projection.

Speaking to LUXURY LIST WEEKEND FGR Director, Feras Raffoul said, "We were able to have creative control over the project from conception to completion, working closely with trades to masterfully craft a home where every architectural intent was executed."

"With such opportunity, we ensured that we created something meaningful in every aspect for the most sophisticated and discerning homeowner. From the detailing of joinery and stone in a one of a kind kitchen and fireplace, to the architectural expression of the concrete veil in response to the site, this home is truly unparalleled in its category."

“This is a world class international property with an incredible sense of calmness and tranquillity,” Oliver Booth told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“Once inside you feel like you’re in a complete sanctuary of your own with no idea of the outside world and complete privacy, but with all the amenity and facilities of Toorak with all the cafes, shops and restaurants virtually outside your front door.”

A flowing floorplan with daylight informed circulation is apparent throughout, from the split-level ground floor with multiple car-parking, entrance zone and office to the stepped down family areas and kitchen at the rear.

“Natural light streams in during the day and filters throughout the home giving a sense of relaxation and then at night the home completely transforms with its incredible lights and lighting,” Oliver explained.

“The transition from day to night is incredible but the sense of calmness and tranquillity filters through constantly.”

Constructed from concrete and travertine, the use of stone throughout the kitchen is an Australian first and echoes the modernist masterpiece moments of stone, glass and steel.

“Inside this house you could be anywhere in the world. It’s the only house in Australia nominated in the 2023 World Architecture Awards in Singapore,” Oliver told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

An entrance zone nautilus-shell staircase connects to the upper level comprising additional bedrooms, en-suites, dressing room with stunning oculus skylight and library. There’s also garaging for multiple cars.

“This property is an absolute one-off because of the way the house makes you feel,” Oliver said.  “I’ve never experienced a house that makes you feel so calm and tranquil.”
