This house, with judiciously placed timber accents and brilliant glazing, knows precisely how to play to the surrounding environment, drawing light and warmth in to permeate the concrete floors, walls and ceilings. The driveway deposits you at mid-level. From here, survey the excellent surrounds of gardens, greenery and a large dam against the native bush boundary. Inside, it’s as smooth as the facade promises. A central kitchen showcases a brilliant picture window – a theme throughout – and a swirling quartzite bench. A circular skylight over the dining table is sculptural and spectacular, while the rangy living space opposite has more beautiful glazing and a handsome honed hearth.
