The pièce de résistance of Hubert Estate is the sense of anticipation and arrival that is cultivated from the moment you first catch a glimpse of it from Maroondah Highway. The ‘eyelid’ shape of the cellar door rises up from the ground in a single, swift curve. Visitors approach via a paved pathway that runs between the two sheds–housing the restaurant and function centre–and the new cellar door, which is camouflaged seamlessly within the landscape. A monumental pair of board-formed concrete walls puncture the back of the grassy mound, directing intrigue toward the cellar door.
