Our first project in Far-North Queensland is Avenell. A Modern Farmhouse that takes a commanding position on an expansive rain-forested site. The home is situated in a raised clearing of the site following a ridge line that runs through the property. As is common to most of our projects, a courtyard is central to the design and the aim is an effortless connection with nature, bringing the landscape into the center of the house.

Inspired by the textures, forms and light of the coastal environment this family courtyard home has a minimalist approach to materiality. Living zones are seamlessly connected to the outdoor entertaining spaces, pool and gardens.

A contemporary beach house, elevated on the site to capture views and composed of robust and hard-wearing materials suited to the exposed coastal location. Both inside and out, the earthy and textured material palette connects the home to the rugged coastline setting. The breeze blocks and the casual yet bespoke interior are retrospective nods to classic Australian 1950’s Mid-Century coastal holiday homes.

Located on a leafy gently sloping block the house creates multiple living platforms and private garden connections. A natural plateau defines the center of the house with outdoor living and pool area. The journey through the house parallels contours and topography of the site with clearly defined living, sleeping and guest zones as you descend within from street level.
