Domain House of the Week by Zane Carter Architects

Domain House of the Week

Domain House of the Week recognised this contemporary residence for its dramatic presence, architectural detail and refined approach to luxury living. The home makes an immediate impression, with scale, craftsmanship and material quality continuing throughout the residence.


Once inside, the design reveals a considered balance of architecture, space, materiality and finish. This is not just a home to live in. It is a home to experience, with each room designed to create a sense of arrival, comfort and visual impact.

Domain House of the Week: a home designed for presence and detail

Architecturally crafted for sophisticated living and entertaining, the residence is framed by carefully designed landscaping and a refined entry sequence.


Inside, high ceilings, custom joinery and Blackbutt flooring contribute to the home’s sense of warmth and quality. In addition, soaring walls of commercial-grade glass bring natural light deep into the living areas and connect the interiors to the outdoor spaces.


As a result, the home feels open, generous and highly resolved. It also creates a clear relationship between interior comfort and outdoor living.


Living spaces connected to the outdoors

The main living areas focus on light, openness and ease of movement. Large expanses of glass overlook the resort-inspired lap pool, allowing the outdoor areas to frame the experience of the home.


This connection between inside and outside gives the residence a strong sense of calm. At the same time, it supports entertaining at scale.


The home feels impressive, but it still works for everyday living.


A kitchen with impact

The kitchen is a genuine centrepiece. Prestige appliances, expansive Carrara marble benchtops and a full butler’s pantry create a space that feels refined, functional and highly considered.


Designed as the heart of the home, the kitchen supports both daily use and entertaining. It offers generous preparation space, strong visual presence and a close relationship to the surrounding living areas.


Resort-style outdoor living

The outdoor areas continue the home’s focus on comfort and experience. A heated wraparound lap pool, kids’ pool and 10-person spa create a resort-style setting for family life, relaxation and entertaining.


Importantly, these spaces do not feel separate from the architecture. Instead, they form part of the overall experience of the residence.


Craftsmanship and quality throughout

What makes this home stand out is the consistency of detail. From the architectural form to the finishes, joinery, glazing and outdoor spaces, the residence shows a clear focus on quality and long-term liveability.


The home demonstrates how thoughtful residential architecture can bring together scale, comfort, material detail and everyday function. Together, these elements create a home that feels both refined and personal.


This Domain House of the Week feature reflects the value of designing homes with presence, clarity and long-term appeal.
