Architects' Own
Created as their own family's sanctuary by two architects, this is a home conceived with an uncommon clarity of vision - where considered design, craftsmanship, and imagination converge in a celebration of natural and reclaimed materials.
Hidden on a 1,756sqm nature block punctuated by granite outcrops and framed by established treetops, the architecture is deliberately immersed in its setting. Vast banks of glass draw in the northern aspect of Boya Quarry, and capture shifting patterns of dappled natural light from East to West as the sun rises and sets. Here, landscape, light, and architecture are inseparable - each shaping the experience of the home as the hours and seasons unfold.
Original, warm and utterly unique, this is architecture made to be lived in.
