Kooyong Brochure

Thinking beyond the expected.

Creating an exceptional residence destined to become an intrinsic part of a family’s present and future life is a task requiring deep consultation, extensive reflection, and tireless commitment. These qualities are essential when creating a memorable living space that will evolve in response to a family’s changing needs.

At Englehart Homes, this level of ambition is second nature. In our view, there are few undertakings more important than being able to envisage, plan, and bring to fruition an exceptional family residence with unrivalled comfort, exceptional ergonomics, and sumptuous aesthetics.

Award-winning designs.

Many of our renowned homes have received prestigious awards – and that award-winning thinking is built into your new home. Achieving widespread acclaim as a builder requires taking the highest possible level of care with clients and the building of their homes. Every element of our four-decade experience, from our designers to our professional tradespeople, is invested into each Englehart Homes residence.

Our strong design principles have led to many awards for Englehart Homes. We are a Multiple HIA Award-Winner (Professional Medium Builder/Renovator), including Best Display Home Over $750,000, as well as receiving a Special Commendation for Best Custom Home $1m–$2m. At Englehart Homes, it’s only the beginning.

Four decades of expertise.

From the day we were founded over forty years ago, we’ve been striving to fulfil our customers’ wishes. To make sure this happens, we’re committed to listening above all else. This attentiveness makes us adept at honouring the fidelity of each customer’s vision.

Our uncompromising respect for this ideal lies at the heart of every single one of our actions, from laying the first brick to handing over the keys. Throughout the entire detailed process of creating and building a home to the highest standards possible, we’re responsive to each person’s vision of the ideal living space.

Leaders in luxury.

At Englehart Homes, we understand that luxury is far richer and more complex than a single style, product, or material. Instead, true luxury must be deeply infused into everyday life. We express this understanding in our innovative, light-filled series of architectural plans, supplemented by flexible living areas, boutique interior finishes, and purposedesigned spaces.

By taking this holistic approach, we have finely calibrated each element of an Englehart Home to reflect the customer’s needs, values, and tastes. The range of finishes we have selected are tactile, durable, and luxurious. Combined, these measures infuse each Englehart Home with a uniquely personalised feel, sculpted to residents’ wishes.

A creative approach to living.

It is our belief that a new home forms the foundation of a life well-lived, promising the future while framing the past. It must be flexible enough to adapt to residents’ evolving needs, yet strong enough to remain constant in the wake of life’s turbulence. For that reason, the idea of a home goes far beyond construction, or service, design or style.

Each residence forms the very cornerstone of life’s hopes and aspirations. We understand and respect those who set out to create their dreams around a new home, and seek to honour them. By appreciating the value and fragility of such visions, we gain the tools to protect and nurture those dreams.

Highly customisable spaces.

Englehart Homes can transform your dream home ideas into a beautifully crafted custom-built home with the architectural flair and features you desire. Intelligent design, quality materials, craftsmanship and value for money are inherent in every home we design and build. Taking into account site conditions and specific client needs, The Englehart Design Team can create a customised solution that is ideal for your needs.

The Kooyong exemplifies this admirable flexibility in design principles, with a range of single- and double-storey floor plans and façade options. Constructed according to your unique specifications, The Kooyong can feature a wide range of deluxe and luxury items to meet each client’s exact requirements. A dizzying range of finishes and materials can be chosen to grace The Kooyong’s spaces and surfaces throughout the home, giving your family the opportunity to imprint your own visual signature with expert guidance and materials from Coco Republic, renowned interior designers. The Kooyong can be customised for each client’s unique site, lifestyle and budget needs, with a range of single- and double-storey floorplans and facades available to meet every person’s unique vision.

About the Kooyong.

Introducing

The Kooyong, a gorgeously proportioned double-storey home with an extraordinary 553sqm of floorspace, faithfully captures the essence and intelligence of exceptional contemporary design. Showcasing style and substance through the simplicity and precision of its strong, clean lines, The Kooyong combines eye-catching geometry and articulation with an impressive upper-level cantilevered balcony and artfully arranged renders, timbers, and glazing.

Venture into this welcoming home, and you’ll find a series of seamless transitions from indoor to outdoor entertaining areas, multiple living zones, ergonomically advantageous workspaces, and relaxing sanctuaries – all generously bathed in abundant natural light and a sense of spaciousness.

a modern classic.

Highly prized hidden features. As with all exceptional contemporary design, The Kooyong’s lines are breathtakingly straight and true. The design’s inherent strength shines vividly through in each of the home’s living areas, featuring tasteful detailing such as laser-levelled, square-set large ceiling areas, space-defining ceiling recesses and wall projections, recesses for artwork, and large screens with bi-fold doors leading out to the gorgeous alfresco area.

The Kooyong’s human-scale luxury is articulated in its ambitious yet eminently approachable combination of spaciousness and functionality. On the ground floor, the home’s expansive rooms are enhanced and emphasised by soaring three-metre ceilings. A beautifully integrated, finely equipped kitchen with seamless custom-made cabinetry connects to a large and highly useful butler’s pantry, while fine porcelain flows through the expansive living areas, continuing throughout each of the thoughtfully appointed downstairs bathrooms.

A wealth of stylish beauty expressed within a timelessly elegant structure.

For guests, The Kooyong couldn’t be more welcoming. On entrance, the home’s focus on accommodating visitors immediately becomes apparent with the impressive guest bedroom situated off the main hallway, providing a comprehensively proportioned retreat with gorgeous wraparound views of the surrounding garden area.

This expansive living space is perfectly served by a large walk-in wardrobe and indulgent ensuite, complete with a double vanity and double shower with fully integrated seating. The perfectly situated guest quarters provide those staying at The Kooyong with a secluded haven, while at the same time offering easy access to the home’s communal areas. By sensitively integrating the guest quarters into the home’s wider design, The Kooyong offers a genuinely inviting space for all visitors to this exceptional home.

A gorgeous place to live, and an enticing one to visit.

Filled with personalised points of distinction.

As a result of meticulously planned design, each of The Kooyong’s interior spaces is graced with its own special resonance. There’s excitement in a number of reveals –including the double garage door, camouflaged within exacting ebony timber battens; a central library, opening up to a breathtaking glazed double-height void; and a curved wall in the main bedroom suite, screening its stunning ensuite.

The Kooyong’s extraordinary open-plan living, dining, and kitchen zone embraces a large outdoor area perfect for dining and entertainment, connected via a bi-fold glazed wall. Privacy is again placed front and centre in the design, with the floorplan accommodating each individual’s need for personal space. Tucked behind this cavernous area, The Kooyong features a second welcome surprise – a gorgeously proportioned double rear study concealed behind the living area’s entertainment wall, with peaceful views onto the rear garden.

An enviable range of beautiful touches.

A peerless personal first-floor haven.

Luxurious master bedroom with balcony.

Ascending the staircase reveals a further strength of The Kooyong, which manages to integrate seemingly limitless family living space within its unassumingly accessible floorplan. Upstairs, The Kooyong’s landmark grand master suite is enwrapped by a spectacular private terrace on two sides and features a 28-square-metre bedroom with a large open dressing room and a spacious ensuite with floating double vanity, freestanding bath, and doublelength shower. It’s a genuine show-stopping centrepiece, for a home already richly endowed with a beautiful collection of features.

When you continue through that stunning master suite, you’ll encounter a gorgeously accommodating private terrace, offering its own sense of grandeur. Spectacularly porcelain-clad and perfect for entertaining or relaxing, the mastersuite’s personal cantilevered balcony provides The Kooyong’s residents with a unique vantage point onto the property.

Further notes of distinction.

Yet the master suite is only the beginning of the top floor’s many notable features. Adjoining this massive room are three sumptuously equipped queen-sized bedrooms, each with their own ensuite and capacious walk-in robe. Tucked up serenely in this quiet upper corner of the home, each of these bedrooms presents a perfect example of relaxed living, supported by every possible comfort. The further standout features of the home’s top floor bedrooms include walk-in robes and indispensable storage space.

The central living area situated on the first level is virtually a work of residential art on its own terms. Each of the bedrooms converge on a huge sitting area, which is situated just across the hallway from an elegant second library to thoughtfully complement the larger downstairs facility. Whether residents are seeking some quiet reading time or a more upbeat communal entertainment session, this central space plays an integral role in the first level’s unique visual presence. Placing unprecedented options at residents’ fingertips, this versatile fullsized entertainment space helps The Kooyong’s extraordinarily spacious first level achieve residential perfection.

Peacefully take in the vista.
