Canterbury Home

Celebrating natural light and sculptural forms, this home is a testament to sophisticated designs that are Made for Living.

Nestled in Melbourne’s inner-city suburb of Canterbury, this residence showcases prestigious craftsmanship using high-quality building materials. SKETH Design & Interiors designed this home using a seamless interplay of curves and clean lines which are beautifully integrated amongst the space. This creates a celebration of sculptural forms and natural light that it enriches the everyday living experience, whilst still remaining practical and safe for a young family.

One of the defining features of the home is the dramatic spiral staircase that is finished in venetian plaster. Coinciding with this statement staircase is the 400 Series Commercial Window Frames over the stair void. These Window Frames can be seen across the build, with their robust commercial grade performance paired with there sleek aluminium profile providing the strength and durability required for the project.

The windows use large expansive glass which posed a challenge for installation due to their heavy weight and risk of falling, but with the assistance of a crawler crane the glass was able to be installed with ease. These expansive windows flood the upstairs of the home and filter light, whilst framing the quaint garden views. Above the staircase is a custom dome skylight that tapers from 1500mm to 1200mm, drawing in natural light from above and accentuating the staircase’s curved form. This creates a constantly shifting play of shadow and reflection that moves throughout the day.

To enhance the flow between indoor and outdoor spaces, the Commercial Grade Titan Apartment Door has been used with 4 panel stacking. This configuration allows for a wide opening, that expands the entrance from the living room to the poolside courtyard.

Select Commercial Centre Glazed Windows and Residential Apollo Sashless Window Frames are used amongst the home to maximise natural light and offer versatility in different spaces, such as the bathroom. These units provide uninterrupted sightlines and a minimalist aesthetic that pairs perfectly with the home’s refined interiors.

The combination of premium window and door systems with this timeless design create a contemporary sophistication that elevates the everyday living experience.
