Brownhill
Brownhill by LJ Building Co
Set within the breathtaking landscape of Wandana Heights, this architectural residence by LJ Building Co is a perfect synergy of design, terrain, and lifestyle. Purpose-built for a sloping block with over 4 meters of fall, the home embraces the natural topography, resulting in a residence that feels as though it has risen organically from the hillside.
Rather than resisting the land, the home works with it. By stepping the floorplan into two distinct quarters, LJ Building Co has created functional separation without sacrificing flow or connectivity.
A Descent into Light and Warmth
As you enter the home, you're immediately drawn downward — a few considered steps guide you gently into the living area, where the ceiling soars and the light pours in.
The cathedral ceilings stretch dramatically overhead, but the space remains intimate and inviting, thanks to soft textures, natural finishes, and a thoughtfully placed wood-burning fireplace. It's a striking balance: architectural grandeur paired with cozy comfort.
Full height glazing frames panoramic views of the Barrabool Hills, bathing the room in natural light and inviting the outdoors in, no matter the season.
Design Features That Set It Apart:
-
Cathedral-style high ceilings elevate the main living space, enhancing both light and volume.
-
A CHEMINEES PHILIPPE wood fireplace becomes the heart of the room, bringing warmth and sculptural beauty.
-
Expansive double-glazed windows frame uninterrupted views of the picturesque Barrabool Hills, blending indoor living with the serene outdoors.
-
Rich Blackbutt timber flooring adds natural warmth and contrast to the contemporary palette.
-
The open-plan kitchen flows into a generous butler’s pantry, perfect for hidden prep and seamless entertaining.
-
Complete climate control with ducted heating and cooling for year-round comfort.
-
A custom floor-to-ceiling cavity sliding unit opens completely, transforming the living space into a breezy, open-air pavilion on warm days.
This is a home of deliberate decisions, where form meets function, and the landscape is part of the experience. LJ Building Co has not just built a house; they've carved a vision into the hills of Wandana Heights.
