Kensington 52 Milroy Avenue

The Pool House, An Award-Winning Masterwork By Luigi Rosselli

The inspired redesign of this grand c1910 Federation bungalow by Luigi Rosselli Architects uses water to link the old and the new with a wraparound glass mosaic-tiled pool playing the starring role. The original front of the home retains its architectural integrity while a striking two storey extension with amazing curved plate glass walls forges a close connection with the outdoor living space while bathing the interiors in northerly sunshine. With its distinctive sculptural design and organic lines, the contemporary living pavilion opens out to Will Dangar designed gardens with the sparkling pool as centrepiece to family life. Every detail has been carefully considered from the custom kitchen and luxurious cantilevered master retreat to the spiral staircase and motorised sliding louvre screens that afford touch of a button privacy and sun control. Set on a private 690sqm approx block, this award-winning family home stands in a class of its own on one of Kensington's finest tree-lined avenues.
