Design Setting
Perched directly across from the waters of Moreton Bay, Ellwood was designed to be noticed. With a striking, unconventional form and bold street presence, the home captures attention while making the most of its enviable location in Ormiston.
The home’s sculptural silhouette floats above a three-car garage and entry, with the upper level positioned to maximise views and frame the ever-changing mood of the bay. Material contrasts and bold geometry define the exterior, reinforcing the sense that this is no ordinary coastal home.
Every move in the design is intentional — from the elevated living spaces to the layered alfresco, every element is shaped around the view and its connection to place. Ellwood is a statement home in every sense, confidently responding to its site and setting.
Lived Experience
Ellwood invites you to live with the landscape — not just beside it, but within it. The journey begins on the ground floor, where the entry and garage lead into an open-plan living space that spills out to a private rear pool, perfect for relaxing and entertaining.
Take the stairs (or lift) and the experience opens up. The upper floor is where the home truly reveals itself — kitchen, dining, living, and master suite all orient eastward, overlooking the alfresco and drinking in uninterrupted views of Moreton Bay. This level feels as though it floats, light and elevated, yet grounded by the strength of the design.
Every space is connected yet defined, flowing together to support family life, privacy, and retreat. The layout defies convention in all the right ways — not for the sake of difference, but to create a home that feels alive to its surroundings, bold in form, and effortless to live in.
