Architect-designed hilltop home maximizing panoramic views with a split-level open plan living space and strategically placed eaves for optimal sunlight management.

This spectacular hill property is the architect’s own home.  It was designed by the owner to maximise the panoramic views.  The 365m2 home is only one room deep at any point.  The ground floor comprises the double garage, children’s bedroom, guest bedroom, bathroom, and laundry. 

Upstairs, the split-level open plan living space encompasses the beautifully appointed kitchen, dining and lounge as well as an interconnected media room.  To facilitate manoeuvring vehicles, the house is suspended over a vehicle forecourt to form a covered arrival and departure area.      

The design includes eaves of varying depth to shade the house from the intense midday sun while letting in the warmth in the late afternoon and evening.

“Our build was an extensive renovation of a 1950’s house with a small extension on one wing. After our first builder left us in the lurch, Chris Fifield Builders Ltd stepped up and took over smoothly so that there was no delay to the build. The build came in ON TIME which is a rarity in anything we have ever seen before and Chris always had handy tips to keep costs down. I have full faith in his building skills and advice and I strongly recommend him to any prospective clients. We absolutely adore how our house has been transformed and we would not have achieved this without them. We have continued to use them with other projects and we are always fully satisfied with the result. Thanks Chris!”
