Downsize

This single level home has been designed to suit the needs of a couple who no longer require a family home and had an opportunity to create a sanctuary for themselves to enhance their lifestyles. The Living areas embrace a central courtyard that captures northern light with the kitchen at the heart of this home. Another courtyard separates the main bedroom zone from the entertainment area and facilitates cross ventilation whilst providing a landscaped outlook.

A private oasis on an exposed corner site, this house is an example of efficient use of space through habitable zones rather than individual rooms.
