Name: Aurelia
Element: Fire
Why: Aurelia derives from “aureus,” meaning golden, and evokes radiance, warmth, and expressive detail. Rooted in the Fire element, it reflects the home’s glowing brass accents, rich timber tones, and dramatic feature walls where light and material interplay create a luminous architectural presence.
Aurelia rises with confidence from its Carindale address. From the street, the residence presents a bold and sculptural composition defined by crisp white render, contrasting accents and stacked stone cladding, creating a confident interplay of light and shadow. Vertical aluminium battens enhance the rhythm and texture, while the recessed entry framed by a decorative backlit laser-cut screen and custom Ebony-stained timber doors introduces a sense of arrival with layered depth. The Corten garage tone adds a striking industrial warmth, balanced by Travertine tiles across porch, alfresco, and balcony zones.
Inside, the home is defined by sculptural gestures. An open-tread staircase in solid timber with ebony stain and frameless glass balustrade leads to a recessed pebble bed and feature wall. The kitchen is a moody composition of black marble, dark walnut cabinetry, and black gloss feature panels, illuminated by brushed gold lighting elements and recessed strip lighting.
Private retreats are framed by blackened oak flooring and feature textured timber panel walls, gold shiplap, and curated wallpapers. The master suite includes a freestanding bath, dual vanities in Jet Black stone, and aged brass wall lighting, while each ensuite is detailed with full-height tiling including feature tiles that pull the composition together.
