HIA Australian Residential Design

A refined response to a challenging, sloping block in Wonga Park, this home takes full advantage of its beautiful surrounds. The clients wanted a 'forever home' that was 'not just seen, but felt', and this design unquestionably delivers. Standout features noted by the judges include the home's floating rooflines and cantilevered forms. Floor to ceiling windows at the rear provide uninterrupted views out to the mountains, while passive solar orientation, hydronic slab systems, solar generation and backup power ensure year-round efficiency and comfort. This thoughtful and technically rigorous design has led to an outstanding finished product: a site-sensitive sanctuary that elevates daily life and will endure across generations.
