The Greenhouse

The Greenhouse stands as a testament to conscientious living, embodying a remarkable fusion of environmental mindfulness and elegant design. Nestled on sprawling acreage outside Brisbane, this home is a symphony of collaboration among architect, builder, and friends, resulting in an exquisite equilibrium of aspiration, sustainability, and craftsmanship. As a pioneering venture between Shaun Lockyer Architects and Healthy Abode Living, the residence seeks to capture the essence of simplicity, artistry, and poetry within its architectural narrative.

The living room, carefully selected as the heart of the home, emanates a sense of material warmth that seamlessly bridges the indoors with the vast landscape beyond. Anchored by an inbuilt feature brick wall, the Seguin Multivision 8000 Double Sided cast iron wood fireplace from Sculpt Fireplace Collection takes center stage, harmoniously unifying the living and dining areas. This captivating fireplace design forms a striking alliance between form and function, serving as a captivating design element while providing the inherent comfort of a roaring fire. The architectural cohesion exemplified by the fireplace reflects the overarching ethos of this residence: an abode that marries environmental ethics with elevated aesthetics.

Shaun Lockyer's distinctive touch is evident as The Greenhouse builds upon the legacy of the Hinterland House, a reinterpretation of the traditional farmhouse concept. By merging industrial elements with meticulously crafted timbers, this residence ventures into uncharted design territory while honoring a sense of familiarity. The home's form harmoniously blends traditional pitched roofs with contemporary courtyard planning, a synthesis of classic charm and modern sensibilities. The house emerges as a sanctuary from urban pressures, prioritizing well-being and family unity. With its strategic orientation to harness solar energy and breezes, The Greenhouse beckons residents to embrace year-round comfort while fostering a profound connection to both land and self.
