DESIGN + ARCHITECT // HILLAM ARCHITECTS
BUILD // WESTSTYLE
This family residence on a prominent corner in Trigg was conceived as an inviting summer house, balancing a dramatic multi-level form with refined internal detailing to create a tranquil, sophisticated sanctuary for its discerning owners. The expansive ground-floor entry hall features a sculptural floating staircase and statement lighting, drawing the eye up to the main living level and a sweeping 180-degree outlook across the beach and Indian Ocean. Sensuous curved forms define the kitchen bulkhead and cabinetry, subtly complemented by custom pendant lighting, contemporary modular furnishings and black limestone flooring, while a restrained material palette ensures a seamless spatial flow and allows the outlook to remain the hero.
Designed for coastal living, the home is crafted from materials selected to withstand harsh seaside conditions and incorporates considered sustainable strategies. Western-facing glazing is carefully moderated through external Vental blinds, dual internal blinds and integrated automation, providing precise control of heat and light without compromising the architectural intent. All environmental measures are seamlessly embedded into the design, reflecting a holistic approach to performance and quality typical of Hillam Architects.
