HOUSE
- MOUNT PLEASANT
The
brief was for an open plan contemporary family home with a relaxed
'holiday' feel so we came up with a light, airy split-level design
which fitted beautifully into the natural contours of the sloping
site.
The
undercroft double garage and carport were tucked under the bedroom
wing to free up open space and allow the bedrooms to take advantage
of lake and hill views.
A
clever skillion roof design affords the interior spaces soaring volumes
and skillfully placed high light windows that visually 'bring in'
the beautiful treed surroundings giving the home a special ambience.
Careful
placement of openings extends the perception of space to encompass
the boundaries of the site and help to make the home feel much larger
than it really is.
Bold
use of form, materials and colours have given this home plenty of
'wow factor' although it remains extremely livable and user friendly
for family life.
