What is the ‘big (IDEA)’ behind this project?
The two 3 level private residences reflect a new internationalism, highlighting Australian contemporary architecture. The simple façade belies the careful planning that results in remarkable spaces that visually ‘borrow’ from adjacent external and internal areas to maximise openness and transparency. Each property has a wet edge pool, private courtyards, 4 king size bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and 180-degree views of the vast, luxurious tropical surroundings. A limited palette of finishes and the openness of the house blurs the boundaries between indoors and outdoors.
