Have a look in at this expansive six-bedroom residence, beaming proudly from its corner block in Canberra’s prized Inner North.

Spanning over 600 sqm, the home was designed and built by the same hand — architect and client in one.

The brief: maximise space without compromising on intimacy. The result is a U-shaped plan centred around a private courtyard and poolside cabana, seamlessly accessible from the home’s living zones.

Inside, the interiors nod to Fifth Avenue elegance — think dramatic volumes, layered textures and flowing spaces. Black marble, high ceilings, and sparkly chandeliers catch your eye, as does the intricate layout that is developed within a tricky 1,200 sqm triangle-like block.

Let’s meet Michael and take a wander.
