“What makes this property so special is the way it feels both intimate and monumental at the same time,” Carla Fetter told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND. 

“The central courtyard is a true ‘oh-wow’ moment, it anchors the home with light and energy, while reminding you that this was the canvas for one of Australia’s most important architects’ personal life.”
