By JTB Architects
A steep and difficult site has provided a springboard for the creation of a home that opens up to capture north-facing views while maintaining a level of privacy from neighbouring properties. Within the well-detailed interior, a beautifully finished stair accentuates the home's verticality over three levels, and cleverly placed timber joinery provides partial separation between the kitchen and living spaces. This is a simple and elegant home.
