Paragon Homes

The Gaspar has a narrative. It’s a dialogue between dramatic roof angles and entry piers with grounding presence. But it’s beyond the facade that architectural intelligence is revealed. It’s the distinctly modern take on zonal living - an upstairs-downstairs configuration that Victorian homes aspired to, but rarely achieved. Rather than simply creating an open plan space, the ground floor approach is more nuanced. The kitchen opens to living and dining, that in turn spills out to the alfresco, creating indoor-outdoor connection that’s crucial in our climate. Considered separation of communal and private spaces is evident here too, with the guest suite offering genuine privacy. But it’s upstairs where The Gaspar comes alive. The master suite, positioned at the rear, isn’t just a bedroom - it’s a proper parents’ retreat, complete with private balcony and freestanding bath. The three remaining upstairs bedrooms don’t miss out either, nestled around a large communal space, and one room with a balcony of its own. Attention to the human experience of living is prominent here, rather than just the metric of square meters. Its this logic that elevates The Gaspar beyond functional build, to something artful.

Blending modern contemporary design with art deco influences, The Oscar embodies sophistication and practical luxury. Its striking curved exterior, featuring rendered Hebel, combined with timber cladding and stone features, defines its dramatic silhouette. At the heart of the home lies a thoughtfully designed open-plan living space, where the kitchen flows seamlessly into dining and living areas. Beyond, a covered alfresco extends entertainment outwards. Through use of a clever central door system, separation between communal areas and individual living spaces is easily achieved. Positioned for ultimate privacy, the individual living spaces feature three generous bedrooms, and a secluded master suite at the rear. Modern conveniences aren’t missed here either, with a mud room, powder room, and well-appointed laundry. The Oscar strives to achieve balance between private living and elegant entertaining. Its architecture distorts the idea of being man-made, through natural flowing curves, that explore the notion of natural creation.

A refined residence, The Teak merges mid-century modern aesthetics with contemporary functionality. The exterior prominence is defined through use of decorative breeze blocks, that not only serve as architectural elements, but facilitate ventilation and light filtration. Revolving around a central living hub, encompassing kitchen, dining, and main living area, this vast space seamlessly flows outwards. Allowing the outside to peer in, from a privately positioned alfresco area. All of which add to the expanse. Functionality is also enhanced in the Kitchen through a thoughtfully isolated breakfast bar, and hidden walk-in pantry. Secluded from the rest of the home, a master suite is privately positioned, far away from the three additional bedrooms, paired with a dedicated kids’ retreat. Modern yet post-war, peaked roof prominence is personified here. Thoughtful material selection and vast glass paneling transport one to a time long gone, but a time that’s sure to flourish again.
