High on Hilltop
Perched high on Hilltop, this landmark residence by Fraser Cameron Architecture was a technically demanding project. A steeply sloped section, extensive retaining wall engineering, complex stormwater management, and the relocation of the existing dwelling all combined to make for a two-year-plus build that asked everything of the team — rewarded, ultimately, by sweeping uninterrupted views across the lake and a home that could only exist in this exact spot.
Light, Privacy & Elevation
Perched on a challenging hillside site, Ewing Grove House is a carefully considered response to both the natural contours of the land and the surrounding neighbourhood. Designed by JT Design and constructed by Haimes Building, the home transforms a narrow, steep section with limited access into a light-filled, contemporary residence that embraces its elevated outlook while maintaining privacy.
The split-level design follows the natural fall of the site, allowing the home to sit comfortably within the landscape while maximising views. Thoughtful architectural detailing, including strategically positioned skylights and a carefully curated lighting design, creates bright, open living spaces without compromising neighbouring properties. The result is a sophisticated family home that balances functionality, privacy and connection to its surroundings.
