The Grove is a new residential project located in the beachside suburban community of Burleigh Heads. The home is an open, light filled space with a strong connection to the surrounding environment. It is nestled into its unique, natural context, backdropped by the Burleigh Heads National Park.
The design intent was to establish a connection to place and strengthen the relationship with the beautiful local context within its subtropical region. Natural amenity is borrowed, and occupants can view through and over a series of green spaces both within and beyond the site that appear to merge.
A passive solar design and void maximises natural light deep into the plan, and enables natural cross ventilation, cooling and heating.
It is a timeless, efficient, regional design that prioritises its relationship to the landscape, local context and subtropical climate to maximise site potential and budget, while enhancing livability and positively contributing to the neighbourhood environment.
Angela and Mark designed us the most beautiful home we could ever ask for.
The house has special views of the surrounding parks and headland, yet privacy from the neighbours is maintained.
We love looking at the rooftop garden from anywhere in the home and that the garage is hidden. Sunlight is vital to us; the home has plenty. We achieve excellent airflow throughout.
The interior colours, tones and materials, ensure a calming space. The design is timeless and comfortable year-round. It feels tucked away in the Burleigh Hill.
We love this home; it has exceeded all our expectations.
