Lived Experience 

From the moment you arrive at Gordon Street, there's a quiet sense of anticipation. Nestled into the steep Bardon hillside, the home doesn't shout for attention — instead, it draws you in slowly. The modest frontage gives nothing away of the four-level design that unfolds behind it, stepping up the hill to reveal a carefully choreographed series of spaces.

​

You enter through the garage, where a lift or internal stairs lead you up to the heart of the home. The second level is where the day truly begins — kids' bedrooms tucked to one side, a shared bathroom, and a cosy living zone that acts as a private retreat or an afternoon wind-down space. It’s calm, comfortable, and just removed enough from the action above to give everyone their own breathing room.

​

The third level is where the home opens up. Sunlight filters through large windows, illuminating the kitchen, dining, and main living spaces — all seamlessly connected. It’s where family life happens: weeknight dinners, slow Sunday breakfasts, spontaneous gatherings. Sliding doors peel back to reveal a deck that floats above the street, catching city glimpses and gentle breezes.

​

And then, at the very top — the sanctuary. The master suite is intentionally elevated, both literally and figuratively. It’s a quiet, luxurious space complete with walk-in robe and ensuite, separated just enough from the rest of the home to feel like a retreat. Step outside, and you’re met with the final surprise — a pool perched on the rooftop, offering a cool, private escape with uninterrupted views across the treetops and rooftops of Bardon.

​

Gordon Street is more than just a response to a steep site. It’s a layered experience — one that unfolds as you move through it, revealing moments of connection, solitude, and celebration. It’s a home designed to be lived in from the ground up, each level offering its own rhythm, its own purpose.
