W Residence | John Murphy Architect

Located on a gently sloping, north facing site the home is designed to interact with and enjoy the
outlook over the adjoining park. W Residence brings joy to the owners and is highly customised to suit
their specific needs.
The home is a combination of close collaboration with the clients and respect for the surrounding
“Garden suburb”context of Coolbinia. Garden views are present from almost every corner of the
home. Landscape is integrated via courtyards, internal planters and green roofs. Courtyards allow
both ventilation and the warmth of winter sun to penetrate the home & seamless indoor/outdoor
flow.
The design pays respect to the Modernist legacy and Garden Suburb Movement principles of the
original town planning scheme, whilst fulfilling the clients wishes for an urban sanctuary – allowing
for individual spaces or communal living as desired. Biophillic & sustainable design with robust
and natural materials enhances the overall sense of calm.
