Set high above the street to capture sweeping views, this home feels at once grounded and weightless. An unassuming entrance draws you up into a quiet reveal, where a gently sloping ceiling and dramatic soffit frame the landscape beyond. A solid plastered concrete base meets finely detailed timber battening above, a considered contrast of hard and soft. Throughout, the design hides clever surprises, from seamless secret doors to a sheltered rear courtyard balancing sun, privacy, and calm. The result is a masterfully crafted home that stays true to its original concept.
