Please visit bespoke website for further information www.westheadhouse.com.au Designed by acclaimed architect Peter Stutchbury, West Head House is not just any Stutchbury residence but was his own home for 25 years. Stutchbury has deservedly earned highest architectural honours both in Australia and internationally, and this particular home has been featured in numerous design publications. West Head House has been consistently cited for the thoughtful and innovative use of resources, melded with a deep understanding and respect of the landscape. Uniquely this is the home where Peter worked the chisels with his own hands.. This is a large residence which still dances lightly on the landscape, a place where the beauty of the design unfolds in unexpected ways, capturing the broad expanse of Pittwater to the north, while nestled within an extraordinary canopy of towering gum trees. It is a place to immediately unwind and shrug off the stress of city life � inspirational living which invites you to go barefoot and savour the warmth of the polished timber and simplicity of the design, all the while marvelling at the ingenuity and sophistication of the home. West Head House is comprised of separate pavilions for living, sleeping and guest accommodation with each dwelling responding intuitively to its unique position on the land. Broad decks join up with the interiors at every turn � this is a home which strikes a wonderful balance between living indoors and out. There is a pure sense of openness and serenity at treetop level - this house is simply a conduit for healthy living. Stutchbury has always viewed the landscape as an equal partner in any design. West Head House is carefully sited to harmonise and adjust to changing light patterns and weather. Well-protected with minimal exposure to the west and south, it is particularly well-suited to the site and is very private. The northern pavilion is designed to fly outward across the site toward sky - oriented to the north, its wing shelters open plan living, dining and cooking space. Above and below the main level are a pair of charming bedrooms with outlooks over the gardens. Nestled against the southern ridgeline is the parents' retreat with large bathroom, walk-in robe and deck, along with a secondary bedroom or bunkroom for children or use as a study. A separate apartment at the crest of the drive reveals a beautifully finished studio which is fully self-contained, ideal for weekend guests or personal staff. Multiple openings connect the living areas to gardens, views and waterfront, while the main north-focused deck presents wide vistas across Pittwater and its sailing boats. West Head House was built to the highest quality and the value is not simply in its timber and steel construction � it is in timbers being hand-selected, every board being fitted and hand-finished by a master craftsman; it is the soaring spirit which inhabits this special place. In careful hands, it will remain an innovative icon for future generations. - Peter Stutchbury's own residence with recent extensions that involved him. - Multi-Pavilion design with free flowing living and entertaining areas - Hand-crafted interiors: flooded gum walls joined by blue gum flooring - Extensive levered windows to the outdoors and expansive platforms at each level - Striking + serene: kitchen defined by polished hardwoods + open shelving - Master retreat features a private deck, large bathroom and walk-in robe - Studio apartment placed at the crest of the drive - Sunlit north aspect with wide views over Pittwater and to West Head beyond - Meticulously landscaped gardens of native plants - An inspirational holiday retreat above Clareville Beach, 36km from the CBD SW
