Observation Green Home

Welcome to Observation Home, a contemporary project completed in 2018 by GNR Studio. The folded wing wall feature and compact floor plan are showcased in this design, making great use of a small site in an urban setting. The unique architecture creates a bold statement while optimising space for generous living areas. 

With a focus on utilising space efficiently, this project offers 5 bedrooms, including a guest suite with an independent entrance. The contemporary style of the building adds a modern touch to the urban landscape.
