A contemporary treehouse-style infill home that harmoniously blends indoor and outdoor living, featuring a vibrant open-plan layout, private deck, and dedicated spaces for creativity and relaxation.
The clients asked for a warm, comfortable and enduring infill house on the back of their 1930’s ex-state home which offered an accessible space to enjoy life surrounded by nature, books, crafts and good company. The concept quickly developed into a modern treehouse, opening out on both sides to create a feeling of living outdoors.
The house starts at the gate where guests are welcomed under a cedar entry into a private sheltered deck area. Inside, a timber-lined foyer with storage and guest WC brings you into a colourful open-plan living area that catches all-day sun to warm the home. A display shelf for the clients’ collection of art glass visually separates the living, kitchen and dining spaces. A small, book-filled hallway leading to the laundry, main bathroom and two light-filled bedrooms can be shut off from the living area as a strategic retreat when the craft club comes to visit.
