Price range:: $0.5m - $1m
Building style:: Contemporary
Photographers:: Simon Devitt Photographer

A leafy, native bush covered site was carefully and minimally cleared to allow a long, low, compact house to sit within it. The house was designed to feel relaxed and easy for a young, growing family.

Dark stained, vertical cedar weatherboards and deck balustrades were chosen to complement the surrounding forest colours and verticality. Timber decking and flooring feel warm and natural in the surroundings. Living areas open right through to connect north and south outdoor living areas, and invite sun, bush views and breezes into the house.
