A steep site, moderate budget and a desire for a “Coastal Hamptons” feel created a challenging brief for this new build home.
The design is framed around the idea of critical viewpaths and a strong connection to the garden for all. We turned the house away from the street, borrowing beautiful views in between neighbours - allowing every key space to be focussed on the beauty of nature. Here there is intentional thoughtfulness and care, expressed through the practical reality of a methodological grid for construction and cost efficiency.
The end result is an unpretentious, yet warm and inviting home with a simple H shaped layout - perhaps evoking a boat shed - with logical zoning, an airy and bright interior, and generous outdoor decks and swimming pool. The home also includes a self-contained studio, with its own patio and private courtyard.

We are a vibrant, creative and passionate architectural practice based in Brisbane, Australia.
First established in 2016, we see ourselves as the next link, inspired by - and walking in the footsteps of - generous, creative and selfless architects who have practiced before us.
Architects who may not necessarily be esteemed or celebrated, who may or may not be exhibited or featured in coffee table books,
but in pursuing great design they have quietly, unassumingly touched countless lives in their craft and service.
We are intentional and counter-cultural in our work - in how we serve our clients, in how we relate as a team, how we advocate for those in need, and how we gauge our success.
We are not satisfied with the status quo. We don’t need our name up in lights.
Our buildings are a physical outcome of our passion - to see people live well, to come home to an environment of peace and rest,
and thus empowered to demonstrate generous hospitality.
