Set high in the hills of Auchenflower, QLD, Clare House is a home designed to embrace its surroundings. Perched on a sloping block, its striking cantilevered form creates a sense of lightness, allowing the home to take full advantage of its elevated position and sweeping Brisbane city views. The design carefully balances privacy with openness, using thoughtful planning to maximise natural light, airflow, and a seamless indoor-outdoor connection.

A refined mix of raw and polished materials brings warmth and texture to the space—concrete and timber working together to create a home that feels both grounded and inviting. Generous living and entertaining areas spill out onto landscaped terraces, reinforcing the connection to the outdoors. More than just a response to the site, Clare House is a study in modern home design—a carefully considered, liveable home that showcases the potential of house plans for sloping blocks in Brisbane houses.
