In the Dharawal language, Marana means ‘to be first’—a fitting name for a home designed to set a new benchmark in beauty, comfort, and performance. Our brief was to create a Palm Springs-inspired retreat that would capture the relaxed elegance of resort living while embracing the latest in high-performance building practices.
From the moment you arrive, Marana draws you in. Soft, sweeping curves flow from the front façade to a breathtaking internal staircase, creating a sense of movement and calm. Inside, every space tells its own story—each bathroom showcasing a unique, custom-made feature marble tile, adding personality and craftsmanship at every turn.
The heart of the home is its open-plan living area, where raked ceilings and skylights flood the space with sunlight. Large doors open to frame uninterrupted escarpment views, blurring the lines between indoors and out. It’s a space designed for both lively gatherings and quiet moments, where the changing light plays across the curves and textures.
Beneath its elegance lies a home built to last. Thermal wraps keep the temperature steady year-round, while cavity battens quietly manage airflow and moisture, protecting the structure and ensuring a healthy environment for years to come.
Marana is more than a home—it’s a sanctuary. A seamless blend of modern sophistication, timeless design, and building performance, created to be as enduring as it is beautiful.
