As you walk past the Trojan Home on the streets of Melbourne, you may not find much appealing in this monotonous wooden giant.
But just like the name suggests, a whole new world awaits on the inside. With its lavish and sweeping interiors that are insulated with perfection, a thermal chimney that keeps the home’s temperature balanced, passive cooling and a rain screen for extra shade in the summer, the home is truly unique on its own. Designed by Jackson Clements Burrows architects, the most astonishing aspect of the structure is the three children’s bedrooms that have been cantilevered above a large living space, and that amazing kitchen.

Lavish Delights Villa
The entire 7,395 square feet of the stunning villa on View Road is an example of how you can maximize the available space and create a comfort condo that is drenched in luxury.
Designed by Harrison Verma, the entire villa contains 5 bedroom suites, 2 reception rooms, indoor pool, staff apartment, three landscaped terraces, a courtyard balcony and a landscaped rear garden. The most captivating feature of the home is its grand home theater that would put most modern cinema halls to shame with its impressive and imposing presence. The gaming area seems to take an inspiration from ‘Friends’ with its Foosball Table or a pool table. In short, buying this £8,950,000 villa means every penny well spent.
