Spectacular and special, this one-of-a-kind Tassie home has a new owner.
The architectural marvel known as Triptych has been sold, following a busy campaign.

The exact figure is undisclosed.

The Agency Hobart property partner Georgie Rayner said she was blown away by the 'outstanding result'.
'It was purchased by a Sydney-based buyer with international connections,' she said.
'I'm excited for both parties, and equally so for Tasmania.
'A property of such high quality in every way — something so extraordinary — it brought a lot of exposure to our state.
'People are looking for special properties in Tasmania. They want to buy here.
'With everything happening in the world at the moment, there seems to be a greater appreciation for all that Tasmania offers.
'People are not necessarily looking for a return on their investment, but rather the ultimate in escapism; and they are looking at our beautiful island.
'It's for their children and their own legacy.'

The campaign, in collaboration with Sotheby's Sydney, reached every corner of the world, including more than a few 3am email inquiries from expats.
'I organised some FaceTime calls with people from overseas while on the property,' Ms Rayner said.
'There was a lot of interest from mainland-based buyers and local Tassie buyers, too. Some already live on the Tasman Peninsula and others from Hobart.
'Triptych grabbed the attention of people who are looking for something truly unique, private and beyond compare.'
Triptych represents a bold architectural collaboration between award-winning firm Room 11 and property owner Jonathan Kneebone.
This innovative property seamlessly blends cutting-edge design with Tasmania's stunning natural landscape, creating an immersive living experience.
Featured on Grand Designs Australia and numerous magazine covers, the property consists of two distinct residences across separate 50-acre titles.
The Blunt House serves as a floating architectural masterpiece, offering sophisticated accommodation with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, strategically positioned to maximise the spectacular surroundings.
Contrasting dramatically, The Glass House emphasises transparency and landscape integration, featuring a bedroom with ensuite while maintaining complete privacy through thoughtful design.
The estate includes a third structure called The Folly, specifically conceived as an experiential architectural element within the broader landscape composition.
