A stunning architectural masterpiece on Hamilton Island, designed to harmonize with its coastal surroundings, featuring robust masonry, private courtyards, and breathtaking ocean views, completed in 2011 and recognized with multiple prestigious awards.
The design of the house responds to its spectacular location near the edge of the ocean and its site falling steeply away towards the water’s edge on hamilton island.
Simple, clean spaces are carved out of robust masonry, ensuring longevity and low future maintenance in the sub-tropical climate.
The design philosophy is based upon the emphasis on the eternal elements of sun, sea and air in combination with the materials’ textural quality and honesty which makes the house invisible from the surroundings.
Internal spaces wrap themselves around water and courtyards, capturing not only ocean views but also inward-looking private vistas.
Completed 2011
