Country House 2 banner

Situated in the middle of a mandarin orchard, this spacious home strongly references its rural landscape, while incorporating the very best of modern design and spacial planning.

Passive solar design incorporates and manages abundant sunlight, optimises views and provides protection from the prevailing winds.

Designed with the dynamic needs of a family in mind, the home featured multiple living areas inside and out, and independent sleeping zones.

Robust simple materials were used in a clean and organised manner to create spaces that are open, light and easy to live and grow in.
