Located on a sloping site set amongst the gum trees in Red Hill, the design is a direct response to its surroundings. Working with the natural topography, the house is divided into a series of stepped floor plates around a central courtyard. The tiered floors zone the interior spaces which offer unique views of the surrounding native bushland.

The home incorporates carefully considered passive design principles to help the family reduce their energy consumption. The location of windows, skylights and the central courtyard allow natural light to permeate throughout the house during the winter ensuring no artificial lighting is required through the day.

An efficient woodburning fireplace sits at the lower level of the house and a series of ceiling fans help distribute the heat reducing the need for electric heating. The large array of solar panels also provides sufficient energy for the home.

The cladding made from locally sourced rough sawn timber and pergola comprising of reclaimed timber beams blends effortlessly with the native environment. The soft grey pallet of the interior, together with the timber and bagged cement brick walls create a calm and quite character for this unique family home.

This large family residence is composed of two masonry and tiled gable roof structures, a contemporary but contextual response to the more traditional homes in the leafy hillside street.

The two-storey structure contains garaging and the main living spaces that step down in relation to the sloped site and open to terraced gardens. The stepped floor planes create increased ceiling heights in the family living areas, further accentuated by a double height void over the dining space, which promotes natural light in a house with a north facing frontage.

The first floor is characterised by a ribbon window running the entire length of the western elevation, offering views to the garden and city beyond. It includes kids’ bedrooms, a rumpus, a study, and the parents’ bedroom that captures the city aspect to the northwest.

The single storey gabled pavilion sits perpendicular to the main structure and includes a guest bedroom and lounge/ music room that enjoys a north facing aspect to the front garden and access to a terraced lawn on the south.

A classic palette of white painted masonry, black roof tiles with black windows and steel accents is softened with stained timber elements.

The interior design promotes a sense of calmness through a neutral palette with an emphasis on spatial diversity, light, and aspect to an integrated landscape.
