Knox Knockout
Eltham, VIC, Australia
The Space
Designed by renowned builder and landscape architect Alistair Knox, Knox Knockout is an exceptional split-level mid century home bathed in natural light and framed by its surrounding bushland. In stunning original condition, the residence showcases Knox’s signature use of reclaimed timber, earthy materials, and seamless indoor–outdoor flow through expansive floor-to-ceiling windows and doors. With exposed brick, timber-lined walls, sculptural ceilings and posts, this is a true mid century dream — highly versatile for film, photography, design, lifestyle and editorial projects.
The light-filled split-level living zone centres around a dramatic double brick open fireplace, leading up to a mezzanine library and reading nook via a feature timber staircase. The kitchen retains its authentic charm with timber cabinetry, terracotta bench tops, open shelving and a low breakfast bar, flowing into a dining area with a second fireplace, skylight, stained glass detail and access to the courtyard and rear deck. Three character filled bedrooms offer a mix of timber panelling, exposed brickwork and floor-to-ceiling glass.
Outdoors, a large elevated deck sits among mature gums, flowering wattle, and seasonal wisteria, with a lower lawn area ideal for additional setups. Located in the leafy Eltham bushland on a quiet street, the property provides ample on-site and street parking — perfect for crews. Curated furniture, art and objects are available for styling as part of the hire.
A pioneer of sustainable design, Knox championed low impact living, self sufficiency and harmonious connection to the landscape — all of which remain beautifully preserved in this remarkable location.
