Media summary

Greybox is an experiment. Set in a seaside suburban setting, Greybox takes the idea of a verandah homestread turned inside out, cross bred with a beachside motel, a tractor shed and a cloistered abbey.

It’s a house for living outside – as much possible – with a series of separate rooms around a 3-sided verandah wrapping a courtyard. It’s intrinsically connected to it’s environment – a courtyard house for an urban site, one that maximises landscape and connections with climate and country.

Shortlist – Residential Architecture – Houses (New)

It’s our house. Or our experiment/ holiday house. We don’t get there much, but when we do we love it. We love that lots of people get to share it. We love the opportunity to live a little differently when we are there.
