Name: Silt
Element: Earth
Why: Silt captures the layered calm of the home. Neutral textures, softness, and quiet strength in fine detail. It’s understated, tactile, and evocative.
Tucked into a leafy urban pocket, this bespoke residence unfolds with subtle elegance and design clarity. The sculpted façade blends vertical cladding, stacked brickwork, and batten screens in a calming neutral yet textured palette, anchored by a bold architectural portal that projects forward framing the entry and upper balcony in a continuous gesture that defines the elevation.
Inside, the spatial rhythm flows across timber flooring, with recessed strip lighting and refined feature walls drawing focus to tailored finishes. The kitchen and living areas highlight fluted cabinetry, stone waterfall edges, and pocket doors, softened by warm timber accents and brushed nickel hardware.
Zones wrap gracefully around an engawa, an outdoor transition space inspired by Japanese architecture. It’s where indoor living meets the outdoors through timber decking, shade, and softened thresholds, with sightlines framed by glazed openings and seamless garden connections.
Custom joinery throughout such as the mudroom, rumpus, and IT nook, reflects both practicality and poise with texture and contrast delivered through curated feature panelling and recessed strip lighting.
Upstairs, layered privacy unfolds from the double-height void to an elevated rumpus, then onward to bedroom sanctuaries and a private balcony, each space offering light-filled retreat and thoughtful detail.
This home distills atmosphere and intention into everyday living. It is quietly bold, deeply bespoke.
