In a quiet Fairfield cul-de-sac, this contemporary residence by Taouk Architects introduces a confident architectural presence to the street. Clean geometry is balanced by gentle curves, giving the home a quietly sculptural form that feels both striking and refined. The sense of scale and craftsmanship becomes clearer the further you move inside. From the street, it feels composed rather than imposing. Landscaping by COS Design plays an important role in the experience of the house. Planting wraps around the architecture and enters it through a central courtyard, bringing greenery and sky deep into the plan and softening the contemporary lines along the way.
Inside, Pleysier Perkins shaped the interiors with a restrained, tactile palette that feels calm and welcoming. High ceilings, generous glazing and a dramatic glass plane above the staircase draw natural light deep into the home, while European oak flooring and wool carpets add warmth and softness underfoot. Near the entry, a separate living room offers a quieter space away from the main family areas, while a ground-floor bedroom with its own ensuite looks onto the central courtyard, where filtered light and greenery create a peaceful outlook. The courtyard acts almost like a pause within the plan. A pocket of sky and planting at the centre of the house. Beyond it, the scale opens up. At the rear, living and dining stretch across the width of the home, centred around a gas log fireplace and oriented toward the terrace, pool and garden. Glass stacker doors slide away so indoor and outdoor living move easily together

The kitchen sits comfortably within the space. A sculptural marble island draws people in, complemented by a full butler’s pantry and integrated appliances that keep the room calm and refined. A remote double garage with internal access leads to a mudroom with extensive storage, alongside the laundry and powder room. Upstairs, a third living area sits between the bedrooms, creating a relaxed retreat. The main bedroom enjoys leafy outlooks with a walk-in robe and ensuite with freestanding bath and walk-in shower, while two further bedrooms share a family bathroom.
