A unique, one-of-a-kind house in Brown Hill, The Glass House is a precious iconic hidden jewel enriched with history.

A local Ballarat born; third-generation owner had a vision to restore the family home allowing old and new designs to sit cohesively side by side.

The joinery completed throughout this home includes the kitchen, butler’s pantry, laundry, doors, windows, stairs, bathroom vanities and robes to all bedrooms and master walk in robe.

“A meeting place for functionality and aesthetic, this kitchen was designed with artfully integrated appliances cleverly hidden in plain sight. The kitchen feels less of a workspace and brings materiality and craftsmanship to the fore.”

The earthy palette blends with the darker high end, bespoke cabinetry. It brings a modern industrial feel and a touch of luxury. Using premium hardware, the Blum Servo Drive electrical opening support system delivers supreme motion technology with a single touch.

The kitchen island benchtop features Caesarstone Excava stone. It reveals the authentic beauty of casting and oxidising rust and concrete.

The walk-in pantry had a shared focus on clean lines and ease of flow. There was careful consideration for space, scale and most importantly storage.

We custom-built a shaving mirror cabinet recessed into the wall. This created more storage and yet was playful and unexpectedly hidden.

The timber awning, casement windows with lift and slide doors balances the sense of openness and privacy. It taps into a fluid relationship between indoors and outdoors, seamlessly connecting the natural light and airflow.
