logan house

Perched high on an elevated site in Eaglemont, this family residence is defined by its relationship to the landscape. The design responds directly to the site’s elevated position, presenting as a solid, protective form to the street while opening outward towards uninterrupted views of Melbourne’s CBD. Inspired by the sculptural qualities of Logan Rock formations, a chiselled stone base grounds the home, while a cantilevered façade floats above the terrain.

Internally, the home shifts in character, embracing the idea of the nest. Warm, robust materials and expansive glazing create calm, light-filled interiors that feel both sheltered and connected to the surrounding treetops. A custom terrazzo floor flows seamlessly between inside and out, while timber panelling and curved stone elements soften the architectural language.

Designed for a young, active family who love entertaining, the home features generous spaces for gathering, play and retreat across multiple levels — from a bunkered basement rumpus area to rooftop and alfresco entertaining with panoramic views. A collaborative early engagement between architect, builder and client ensured design intent was carefully protected at all stages.

The result is a calm yet confident home — grounded in its site, shaped by light, and designed to evolve with family life over time.
