**2026 Houses Awards Finalist | Lantern**
From the moment you step through the internationally award-winning circular entry door, Lantern envelopes you in an immediate, palpable warmth.
Architecturally orchestrated into three distinct volumes rather than a singular, consolidated form, this fragmentation is entirely intentional. By breaking the structure down, the design invites a dialogue with natural light, cross-breezes, and a genuine sense of privacy between spaces. With the soul of the traditional Queenslander beating at its heart, Lantern doesn't just modernize, it revolutionizes. Every corner, custom curve, and tactile material was meticulously curated to prove that high-concept architecture can coexist beautifully with profound human comfort. It is precisely this calibre of design that has earned this home its shortlisted place in the prestigious Houses Awards for new homes over 200 square metres.

> The upper-level master suite has been designed as a true retreat, positioned privately away from the main living zones and wrapped in the home's continuous Queensland Walnut veneer. The space carries a calm, grounded feel, with the material palette softening the room while still giving it presence. The robe has been thoughtfully detailed with integrated storage and a full curtain enclosure, creating a more refined dressing space that feels considered rather than typical cabinetry. The master suite connects seamlessly to the ensuite, forming a private and well-resolved upper-level retreat.
> Bedrooms 2 and 3 are also positioned on the upper level, well separated and serviced by the main bathroom (second). Both rooms benefit from natural light and a strong connection to the surrounding greenery. The layout works well for family living while maintaining privacy from the master suite.
> Bedroom 4 is a ground-floor master suite which adds a layer of flexibility that is rarely seen done this well. Complete with its own walk-in robe and adjoining access to the ensuite. This room is ideal for extended family, guests or a more independent living arrangement, while also working equally well as a private work-from-home space.
- 3 bathrooms + powder-room
> The master ensuite; positioned on the upper level, has been designed as a private extension of the suite, continuing the home's rich and immersive material palette. Handmade tiles from the Nagoya Tile Company in Japan are a defining feature in this space, paired with a solid steel pedestal basin that acts as a quiet focal point. The layout includes an in-built Roman bath and rainfall shower, while ABI brassware and carefully selected fittings complete the room, giving it a refined, slightly moody feel while remaining highly functional. A suspended toilet with an in-wall cistern has also been incorporated, keeping the overall look clean while making everyday upkeep simple.
> The main bathroom (second); also located upstairs, services Bedrooms 2 and 3 and has been designed with both functionality and detail in mind. Handmade tiles from the Nagoya Tile Company continue here, now complemented by Verde Alpi marble. Suspended fixtures and integrated cabinetry maintain the clean, architectural feel seen throughout the home. Suspended toilet and in-wall cistern, consistent with the ensuite.
> The second master ensuite; located on the ground floor, services the guest suite and has been finished to the same standard as the rest of the home. Handmade tiles from the Nagoya Tile Company have been used again, paired with a slightly darker, more grounded palette that gives the space a more private feel. A built-in seat, finished in the same Japanese tiles, has also been incorporated - a practical touch for everyday use like shaving or simply adding comfort for guests or extended stays, with a suspended toilet and in-wall cistern.
> The powder-room on the lower level has been thoughtfully combined with the laundry, creating a highly functional and efficient space without compromising design. Custom cabinetry, integrated storage and a clean material palette ensure it remains consistent with the rest of the home. Suspended toilet and in-wall cistern maintaining that same streamlined finish while serving as a practical everyday zone.
