Wilston Residences

Home PORTFOLIO Wilston Residences

Embedded within the hillside and oriented north to south, the Wilston Residence is carefully positioned to capture expansive city views while maintaining a strong relationship with the surrounding landscape. The siting of the home responds directly to its topography, allowing the architecture to sit comfortably within its natural context.

The design prioritises open-plan living across the steep site, with primary communal spaces arranged to maximise uninterrupted outlooks to the city. Passive design principles, including considered cross-ventilation and building orientation, underpin the project, supporting thermal comfort and reducing reliance on mechanical conditioning.

Concept Design To Completion

The steep terrain is leveraged to organise the dwelling across four levels, articulated through a restrained material palette of natural weatherboard and stone. A composition of warm, neutral tones and defined boxed forms establishes a clear architectural expression that balances solidity, lightness and function.

A central vertical circulation core connects all levels of the residence, providing clear spatial legibility from the ground-level garage through to the living spaces and private bedroom zones. This organisation supports long-term flexibility, allowing the home to adapt to changing family requirements while maintaining separation between public and private areas.

The four-storey residence accommodates five bedrooms, three ensuites, two additional bathrooms and two powder rooms, alongside a rumpus room and generous open-plan living areas. These spaces extend seamlessly to the front balcony and rear entertaining patio, complemented by ancillary spaces including a wine cellar, mud room, storage areas, internal courtyard, multiple living zones and a four-car garage.
