The project
Carter Williamson Architects designed Spiegel Haus around a sculptural grey ironbark staircase that sits at the heart of the home and opens out at each floor to guide movement through it.
The warm timber contrasts with glossy black exterior tiles, a mirror-lined void and polished concrete floors. Blackened American oak veneer sits against smooth marble in the kitchen, and v-jointed pine boards line the walls and ceilings in place of plasterboard. It was completed in 2015.
