The design is inspired by the majestic gum trees on the property, celebrating their tall, sturdy trunks and the smooth, rustic texture of their bark. The homeowners desired a new family residence that could adapt to their changing needs over time, providing a joyful living space for all life stages. Despite the challenges posed by the trees, they also offered unique opportunities to integrate the house around them, enhancing the distinctive character of the site. Addressing issues such as the steep slope and building height restrictions due to a covenant, the design aimed to deliver a meaningful outcome without compromising on quality.

The project is positioned on one side of the plot to create a courtyard that serves as a transitional space between the porch and the garden. This courtyard functions not only as an area for outdoor activities like BBQs but also as a bridge connecting the living space to nature, fostering relaxation and harmony. The ground floor features interconnected communal spaces, all oriented towards the garden. Sliding glass doors are extensively used, and when fully opened, they erase the boundary between indoors and outdoors, offering seamless spatial continuity while maintaining the necessary privacy for the owner.

To offer an interpretation of our current era within the ongoing evolution of architecture, we have endeavored to blur the line between historical influences and embracing the post-modern period. Despite its captivating and imposing appearance, the arch type has given rise to a distinctive space that perfectly complements the prevailing atmosphere of this region, unrivaled in its spatial delight.
