Situated in the most prestigious and convenient location of Birkdale with magnificent ocean views that stretch to Moreton Bay and beyond, this unique Master Piece combines classical and Mediterranean styles. With Double brick and reinforced concrete construction, it is built to last forever. The impressive design focuses on entertaining, with an internally connected network of outdoor living spaces and a separate guest accommodation wing.
The owner has lived in Indonesia for some years, an influence which is discernable in the overall character of the house and its grounds – especially internal details such as the pillars, the wide pagoda-style eaves and pavilions with glittering chandeliers and craft ceilings giving a sense of old world opulence.
The key living and entertaining areas are on the lower level of the main house. These formal and casual spaces enjoy a northern orientation to the front of the property, and a close connection with the walled garden and outdoor dining areas to the south-facing rear of the property. The heart of the entertaining zone is the “kermesse”, a formal dining pavilion – open on three sides – which features Indonesian architecture. This area marked off by sturdy pillars, connects directly with the pool via a straight path.
The grand front entrance is sheltered by a large porte-cochere, the roof of which is tiled to echo the style of the house itself. Flanking this structure, a colonnaded walkway leads, on one side, to the garage and, on the other side, to the class doors leading through to the bar/ billiards area and the office.
The second-storey bedroom wing rests on a suspended concrete slab, and the roof frames are trussed with integral extension pieces to support the deep roof overhangs. These wide eaves provide solar, as well as weather, protection. Openings to the east and west have been kept to a minimum, and wool insulation in the ceilings helps keep all the rooms cool.
