Thornton House 1 banner

The three wings of the house cantilever out from the steep hillside of the site to exploit the amazing views of the valley and beyond to the cathedral range. Walkways between the three wings provide separation between the master suite, the visitor wing and the generous living wing in the centre. A palette of beautiful, natural materials including ironbark hardwood cladding to the walls and ceiling and stone walls and chimneys create a rustic, country-style home befitting the surrounds. A balcony wraps around and connects all three wings providing generous opportunities for undercover outdoor living. The clever use of frameless glass blurs the distinction between inside and outside.

About the
Professional

We create lasting value through simple and beautiful design which caters to the unique requirements of each brief, location and season.

We design for and with the people that live and interact within a space, not the other way around.

Our experience and insight can help stretch what can be achieved within your budget and add value to your project.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
