A Modern Marvel

This breathtaking residence built by Manteena sets the standard for modern contemporary living. A single-storey masterpiece with a basement and four-car garage, the home seamlessly combines sleek sophistication with functional luxury.

Inside, you’ll find four bedrooms plus a study, dual-benchtop kitchen with adjoining butler’s pantry, a family room with fireplace that opens to an alfresco area featuring an external fire pit, and an array of lifestyle spaces—including a music room, library, wine cellar, and two inviting courtyards. A formal lounge and dining room welcomes you from the front foyer, while internal stairs and a lift provide easy access from the garage.

No detail was overlooked. Soaring double-height ceilings in the main living areas create a sense of grandeur. The bold material palette, mixing warm timber, marble, industrial concrete textures, and expanses of glass, is beautifully balanced by a striking dark-and-light colour scheme.

What truly elevates the interior is the dramatic use of contrasting skirting and architraves. The homeowners made bold, confident choices—pairing bright white trim against deep-toned walls and, in a striking move, using gloss black skirting and architraves on black walls in the entry. The result? A moody, atmospheric interior that feels anything but cold. Instead, timber finishes and natural light bring warmth and comfort to every room.

You can achieve this look using Intrim’s SK399 skirting and architrave. With its sharp, clean lines and understated form, SK399 perfectly complements modern and contemporary interiors.

This is contemporary design done right—bold, balanced, and full of personality
