Tall columns help to define the various
sitting and dining areas on the main floor,
and all of these rooms have large bifolds
that open right up to the outdoors. Not
surprisingly, the home has been designed
to maximise the country views and the
warmth from the sun in winter.
The design also caters to the needs of
the whole family, providing a separate
parents’ retreat, with the master bedroom
opening out to an intimate balcony. There
is a formal living room for the adults as
well, and self-contained guest quarters.
Children can enjoy a large space to
themselves, with a dedicated children’s
wing with its own central living area.
High ceilings, polished concrete floors,
and warm timbers are other key features.
