This five-bedroom home sits beautifully in the established suburb of Turner. The house has been meticulously designed and built to maximise privacy from the street. The garage almost disappears behind the carefully selected timber cladding that blends into the background of the mature street trees, paired with the bold iconic red brick, which pops against the black accents of the framed entry. Once you enter the home, visitors are greeted with a outdoor vista framed by high ceilings. Private zones are well concealed yet surround the main living areas which overlooks a central courtyard that has been segmented to allow for multiple activities.
Whilst establishing the brief there were some key considerations which needed to be addressed in the design to ensure the brief could effectively be met. The key design consideration was privacy to the street, given the orientation of North to the triangular shaped block, with the additional driveway that allowed the design of the garage to be rotated, reducing the impact to the streetscape.

The main living area is the focus of the home, inviting a seamless indoor-outdoor connection, maximising excellent solar access. The exterior features gable ends which express the architectural form, creating opportunity to have vaulted ceilings in the main living space which exhibits the link between the master retreat and the children’s wing.
The hero of the home is the roof form. The strong form provides a clear architectural expression, but also expresses the internal form and spaces of the house. The selection of materials reinforces the strong form with relief given by more detailed textural materials. Within the roof form further elements are introduce such as a northern Vergola and the entry pergola.
