‘Quarry House’ is a secluded beachside masterpiece that redefines family luxury on an epic scale.

Meticulously designed by Finnis to respond to its sundrenched corner site with vast indoor and outdoor zones coming together as one in spectacular fashion.

Speaking to LUXURY LIST WEEKEND, Damon Hills Associate Director of Finnis said, "We designed a strong exterior form with seamlessly integrated interiors that promote shared spaces in the heart of the house and a connection with its external context."

"By utilizing a refined palette of bluestone, powder coated steel and timber clad soffits, exterior elevations that complimented the bluestone’s material-properties were developed."

"Being a natural and aged material immediately integrated the new build into its context, giving the feeling of a building that has been in place for many years."

"The large columns add to the solid nature of the house and balance the high amount of glazing, dissolving the barrier between interior and exterior."

Stefan Whiting told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND, "it was a privilege to go on the journey of 6 Menzies Avenue, Brighton with my clients."

"Having sold them the site we discussed the many possibilities they envisaged for this exclusive corner position."

Expansive walls of movable glass, a shimmering slimline lap pool and lush landscaped gardens enhance the overall effect.

Finnis Architects have created a visionary tri-level residence in a quiet cul-de-sac position sought for its easy access to the city and leading schools with the beachfront, walking/cycling trails, oval, cafes and station on your doorstep.

"Honouring the period beauty of the area with a new era of architectural excellence was paramount."

"The considered use of natural materials gives the home an enduring sense of permanence in an established Brighton Beach pocket." Stefan added.

Diamond-cut Port Fairy Bluestone has been used on both the interior and exterior of the house in a contemporary nod to the area's fine Victorian heritage.

Ultra-modern yet effortlessly elegant, the property feels established and at home within its exclusive surroundings.

Handcrafted French oak ceiling battens, wall panels and joinery warm up a minimalist aesthetic, while full-height custom-steel pivot doors, bi-folds and louvre windows catch the sea breeze for superior air flow. 

The open-plan living, dining and kitchen precinct brings the family together, while a soaring void over the pendant lit dining space channels light throughout the home and the bedrooms above.

Heated polished concrete sweeps through light and airy communal zones on the ground floor offering a choice of an intimate sitting room or expansive primary living both warmed by sleek gas fireplaces.

A mecca for entertaining, an epicurean kitchen is adorned with thick, luxe Carrara Marble and custom details.

Entertainers will appreciate the full complement of integrated Miele appliances, dual Copper Qasair cylinder rangehoods and a full scullery as well as an outdoor BBQ kitchen.

Dine indoors or al fresco beneath a louvre shaded pergola by the heated pool and spa.
