Zaher Architects have had the pleasure to design this residence years ago for the original clients and then come back and help the new owners add a pool and another wing, retaining the original design language and vibe.

CLIENT BRIEF:

To create a modern, stylish and interesting home with a welcoming approach. Design to sit lightly on the land, be open, airy and to age well. Clients were not interested in the ostentatious nor did they wish to ‘make a statement’. The most important design parameter was livability, particularly in relation to the prevailing winds.

SOLUTION:

A modern home which capitalises on the views — two outdoor decks, both of which face the views — and a sheltered courtyard. The U-shape plan consists of an open living area and two bedroom wings. The aforementioned decks (one sheltered from the north-east wind and the other sheltered from the south-west wind) met the client’s needs for undercover outdoor space free of wind.
