Neighbours of this huge cube structure in a quiet Melbourne suburb are lining up to get a peek at the ultra-chic home that hides inside

Neighbors are lining up to take a look at an incredibly modern house that looks like a floating concrete cube from the outside.

The monolithic facade of the spectacular house contrasts with the adjacent historic cottages on Essendon Street where it is located, 8km north of Melbourne’s CBD.

Through the doors lies a bright family home with a sleek, minimalist design, glass-enclosed living space, an expansive 15-metre swimming pool and Japanese-style courtyards.

More than 80 percent of the home’s structure is made of concrete, which is accented by a black steel frame and softened by textures of wood and glass.

The property is built in two halves: a communal area housing the living room, kitchen and dining areas in a glazed room at the rear of the site, and the private quarters with cozy bedrooms, each with its own bathroom.

In the kitchen there is a five-metre-long bench, with a butler’s pantry hidden at the end of the chic wooden joinery. Floor-to-ceiling window walls add volume to the family room and blur the lines between indoor living and outdoor luxury

Through the entrance there is a long narrow walkway with double height ceilings that leads to the sun-drenched family room.

In the kitchen there is a five-metre-long concrete bench with a breakfast bar, where a butler’s pantry is hidden at the end of the chic wooden joinery.

In the living room, a built-in storage space extends the entire length of the room to the covered outdoor area, creating an outdoor kitchen.

Floor-to-ceiling window walls add volume to the family room and blur the lines between indoor living and outdoor luxury.

Outside, vines surround a lawn and a 15-metre heated swimming pool, while built-in concrete seating creates a relaxing entertainment area with a fire pit.

At the front of the house there is a raised second living room and a guest bedroom with its own beautiful bathroom and private courtyard.

Joe recently spoke with the home’s architect, Feras Raffoul of FGR Architects, who said a home of its grandeur and quality could not be built today for the same price, saying the multimillion-dollar price tag is “well below replacement cost ‘ lay.
