Hartlands Road
In the verdant surrounds of eastern Melbourne, the Hartlands Road luxury residence is a modern masterpiece, perfectly balancing function, energy efficiency and architectural flair. The north-facing home features bespoke elements that elevate its contemporary appeal, all the while ensuring optimal family comfort.
With a striking street presence, the residence showcases Rylock’s Textura™ Black powder coat finish, with plaster reveal offset, to create a strong yet sophisticated look. The front facade features four Commercial Series Max Lite Windows, each glazed with 7.5m² panes of glass. A nods to the suburb’s heritage while embracing modernity, the architectural design paired with Rylock products play a pivotal role in the overall aesthetic and performance of the home.
In collaboration with the architect, Rylock ensured that all windows and doors met the project’s energy requirements. Grade A Safety Toughened Low-e Double Glazing (Argon Fill) was used throughout, offering superior thermal insulation, regulating the indoor temperatures year-round and reducing energy consumption.
With Commercial Series Sliding and Stacker Doors, the living and dining areas impress equally, opening seamlessly to the outdoor spaces. A screen spreader bar was incorporated to maintain stability and function in the large openings, adding structural integrity without compromising on aesthetic. Additionally, advanced hardware – such as stabilisation rollers in the Sliding and Stacker Doors – ensures ease of panel movement at the largest of sizes. These doors provide a visually stunning element and a fluid transition between indoor and outdoor living, an essential feature of the home’s design.
In the study and theatre, Commercial Series Awning Windows offer exceptional ventilation while maintaining a clean and minimalist appearance. In the laundry and pantry, Awning Windows ensure practical airflow, enhancing the functionality of these spaces. Premium dual seals and Truth Bar Operator Hardware on the Commercial Series Awning Windows — ensure smooth operation and long-lasting durability.
A standout feature of this home is the extensive use of expansive panels of glass, including a custom-designed 4.5m² Fixed Lite Windows in the kitchen. This floods the space with natural light, creating a bright, airy feel that amplifies the modern design.
Architectural Aluminium Series Hinged Doors add a refined touch to key areas such as the games room and laundry, providing both style and durability.
Hartlands Road stands as a testament to the power of thoughtful design, superior materials, and expert craftsmanship. With Rylock windows and doors seamlessly integrated into every facet, this home truly encapsulates modern luxury living.
