Merging playful, textural, luxurious elements, Malvern Residence III crafts an uplifting family home with strong ties to its leafy location. Fostering a sense of togetherness, it embraces the principles of Wabi Sabi – a Japanese philosophy centered around the beauty and humility of natural patina, manifesting as a sophisticated, livable home.

Upon entry, a double-height void and skylight frame long-ranging views through the home. A relaxed family room and guest suite straddle the entry hall, with a bag drop area, laundry and blush-toned powder room nestled around a sculpted stair. Beyond, a generous kitchen crafts a vibrant family hub, awash with warm palladiana floors, veined marble, powder blue cabinetry and brass accents. To the rear, a sunken lounge space creates a deep green bowl, anchored by a central, exposed brick fireplace flanked by garden views.

The upper level elegantly houses the family’s private living spaces, offering serene views of the neighboring treetops. A vibrant ‘cosy corner’ combines banquette seating with hidden toy storage, wall shelving and a carpeted area for floor games, inviting the children to read and play together. A generous main suite, combining hand-glazed tiles, quartzite stone and brass highlights is buffered by a light-filled study.
