Golden Vale Project.

Positioned within an ideal location that allows for the enjoyment of the beauty of escarpments, sandstone bluffs and the views of unbroken bushland. The home captures the beauty of the scenic surrounds in its entirety. It is a place where you no longer need to await the perfect photo moment because you’re living in the reality and “golden hours” are no longer limited to those before sunrise and sunset.

The building’s strong composition of raw materials, use of light, shape and lines are arranged in a meaningful way ensuring the building layout captures the beauty of the property and the picturesque environs. Architectural impact and uniqueness stems from the way that the building harmoniously is one with nature, while providing a sculptural element amidst its surrounds.

The position of the glazing and entry foyer purposefully creates visual tension by framing the escarpment in a dynamic way that instantly draws the viewer in. There’s a seamless connection between the interior and exterior spaces, where only glass separates the two. The boundaries between self and the rest of nature are obliterated and a deep sense of peace and connectedness pervades.
