This new house includes 3 bedrooms, kitchen & living spaces, 2 storey study, rumpus, garage and wet areas. The house espouses a playful engagement with the clients’ desire to demonstrate their interest in bespoke and whimsical design strategies. The hardwood boards making up external eaves, screens, landscape elements and internal vanity joinery have been milled from the clients family farm on the south coast of NSW.

Upper floor windows allow views of morning sun rise over Mount Majura, and evening sunsets over the Brindabella Mountains. North facing balconies nestle up into the mature canopies of the surrounding landscape. A pair of 2 storey voids adjoining the entry and study provide a sense of generous volume within an otherwise modest plan. The voids assist in bouncing refracted light to the southern side of the house and provide visual and acoustic communication tools.
