Concrete Craftsmanship with a Timber Soul

Timber wasn’t an option for a structure this exposed—so A Class Building turned to off-form concrete. But not just any kind. Framed in timber boxes before being poured, the concrete walls took on the timber’s grain, creating a natural, textural finish that nods to the bush beyond. This approach delivers the raw strength required while adding an organic warmth that runs throughout the design.

A Luxury Interior That Celebrates Nature Inside, the home balances the robustness of concrete with the richness of timber floors and joinery. The master ensuite features a flush ceiling-mounted showerhead and a striking green palette inspired by the surrounding bushland. Downstairs, polished concrete floors continue the textural story, while an indoor lap pool adds a resort-level luxury to the home.

Prepared for Anything, Built for Living Beyond its architectural beauty, the home is built for survival. It can resist fire for up to an hour, and includes a 20,000L water tank for fire-fighting. A unique, elevated concrete slab creates a flat, grassy play area for grandkids on a sloping site. Topping it all off? A statement bronze front door that signals the thoughtful design and craftsmanship within.
