A 1960s John Chappel triumph, re-inked to architectural perfection…

Offers Close Mon, 14th Apr - 1pm (usp) Rising from the landscape like it's always belonged, the legacy of celebrated modernist architect John Chappel lives on in this far-reaching residence reimagined by none other than Krivic and Architects Ink. Retreating to the rear half of its sprawling parcel, this distinct 1964-built home hides from the passing world, before creating a world of its own at a 30m-wide north-facing rear with tennis court, heated pool, fire pit, pizza oven and a cast-in-situ concrete pavilion. A bird's eye view of this distinct 'T' shaped structure reveals a home of far-reaching wings, each utilising prolific windows to give every space a unique connection to the lush natural surrounds. A home that looks outward and into itself with equal gusto. Whether it's the American Oak parquetry floors and custom joinery, horizontal slot windows, external Venetian blinds, VJ Board, terrazzo tiling or seamless Corian benchtops draped over vanities, wet bars and kitchen islands… Rather than overpower Mr Chappel's warm, tactile and less-is-more mid-century cues, Architects Ink instead paid deep respect in its conception - brought to inch-perfect life by Krivic's renowned workmanship and attention to detail. A series of pivoting and sliding doors and walls - each a work of art in their own right - close off and open those wings on a whim in this 5-bedroom home with an ensuited studio below deck. Two of the four bathrooms here belong exclusively to their partnering bedrooms, one with a skylit walk-in-shower and elongated vanity; the conduit between a parents' retreat and where you'll blissfully sleep. And it all reaches its glorious crescendo where that 'T' meets its intersection; the gateway between one of the most beautiful kitchens we've ever seen and that crowd-wooing, summer-loving rear setting. And it's a beautiful, beautiful thing.
