15 Gum Grove

Like a dark, moody sculpture that magically sprouted from the earth, this suspended architectural home, with Max Pritchard as the architect, embraces its gum-studded surrounds like few do, whether you're inside or settled on a curvaceous deck that places inquisitive wildlife into your eye line. Built in 2008 and set across a rugged 1,980sqm parcel, this striking home replaces suburban predictability with corrugated iron cladding, polished concrete, long horizontal lines and prolific glazing that keeps every space in deep conversation with Mother Nature. The main living zone spans far and wide, giving the lounge, dining area and kitchen one generous social sweep wrapped in glazing, bushland outlooks and sliding glass that pulls the deck directly into daily life. At its centre; a robust, restrained kitchen with white cabinetry, timber benchtops, breakfast bar, broad storage, wall oven, dishwasher and its own direct line of sight across the lounge, dining area and deck. The home's L-shaped design ensures the bedroom wing is sensibly removed from the social end of the plan, with three bedrooms, a central bathroom, laundry and an ensuited main bedroom with built in robes arranged around a secondary family zone or kids' retreat. Below it all, a double garage with auto panel lift door, internal access, store space and a powder room gives the home the everyday functionality its elevated design could have easily forgotten. Belair has always appealed to those who want Adelaide close but not in their lap, and here that trade-off feels especially true, with national park trails, Belair train station, local shops, quality schools, Mitcham Square and the city all within easy reach from a home that feels truly removed from the noise below. For those who want architecture with a pulse, a bushland address with daily usability and a home that looks like it was drawn for its exact patch of earth, this is Belair at its most compelling.
