Beautifully sited in a rural setting of mature trees, a large pond, and horse paddocks, this strong and elegant house has a calmness and certainty of place and purpose.
With long horizontal planes, a 25m long lap pool and a 3.5m stud height this house has generosity and grandeur. An active family home, the living and service spaces are ordered along an axial spine giving a clarity to the plan.
A restrained palette of concrete panels, cedar joinery, and light timber panelling highlights a controlled mastery of materials, detailing, light, and space. Concrete panels to the southern side provide thermal mass while the northern side is glazed with a long verandah and terraces and overhanging roof for sun and rain protection. This house is a thoroughbred.
