A contemporary home designed on a uniquely shaped site, featuring two distinct wings that harmonize client needs with architectural constraints, maximizing natural light and space while showcasing an impressive art collection and a climate-controlled wine cellar.

Founded on a small, unusual-shaped section, this contemporary home presents a true reflection of client needs vs site constraints. The design conceived in two wings. The skewed “service” wing is clad in dark-stained cedar weatherboards and is generally flat-roofed, contrasting the pitched roof and white plaster finish of the “living” wing. The entry is central, balancing the forms either side.

Plenty of natural light, high ceilings (in selected areas) and white/light colours throughout helped achieve a real sense of space within the limited building footprint permissible.

The usually banal domestic hallway became a light-filled, wedge-shaped gallery space for the clients’ extensive artwork collection, while a timber door with double-glazed panels gives views into the much-desired, super-insulated and climate-controlled wine cellar.

His design for our house has made excellent use of the views and sun and we have had lots of comments. We would recommend Jason to those seeking a unique and innovative design.”
