Sorrento Grand Atrium 47: Featuring a Double Height Atrium over Living Space

by Carlisle Homes

Our cleverly designed Sorrento Grand Atrium 47 includes all the space and luxury features you adore in our larger homes – including a spectacular, double-height atrium over the living area.

You spoke and we listened – you told us how much you love the generous living spaces, oversized bedrooms and showstopping features like architectural atriums and vast dressing rooms in our homes designed for larger plots and wanted them in a typical Victorian 14m frontage home design. So we went back to the drawing board and made it happen! 

Meet the Sorrento Grand Atrium 47 – an innovative Affinity Collection design incorporating all your favourite large-home features and a unique double-height atrium over the living space.

The creative talent behind this brilliant four-bedroom, two-bathroom home, Carlisle Homes Senior Designer Ricky D’Alesio, sat down to tell us more about it.

What makes the Sorrento Grand Atrium 47 unique? 

“This is the home our Affinity buyers with a 14-metre-wide block have been asking for,” says D’Alesio. “With all the luxe features you’d expect to find in a large Affinity Collection design, which our buyers have told us they want in a home tailored to 14 x 28-metre block."

“Thanks to some clever design planning, the Sorrento Grand Atrium 47 flows effortlessly and feels open and airy, while incorporating a huge number of desirable features. We’ve embellished and upsized the most important parts of the home, including the entertainer’s kitchen, three living areas, three secondary bedrooms and the opulent master suite, to provide that sense of grandeur and space our buyers want." 

“But the real showstopper is the dramatic, double-height atrium over the main living area, which floods the home with natural light and creates a seamless connection with the alfresco and backyard – this space will take your breath away,” he says.
