House 2 in a dual dwelling development in Koala Park where the site was subdivided for the two new dwellings.
On a 332sqm North aspect site the dwelling was designed to allow a front North aspect pool courtyard with direct views to Burleigh Heads Ridgeline.
The design was reflective of the South East Queensland Sub Tropical climate with lower floor living areas open to external entertaining decks, the pool courtyard and landscape. Large eave overhangs & oversized gutters with a flatter pitch hip roof & eaves boxed down to window heads indicative of Tropical Modernist Architecture.
Planning to the Ground Floor was programmed with all public zones of living, dining, kitchen & a flexible guest bed that could transition to a kid’s rumpus adjacent to the pool if needed. These public zones all wrap the central landscaped courtyard & external entertaining areas. The first floor was programmed with private zones of 3 additional bedrooms & a retreat, kids spill out zone.
A defining element was the arched vertical batten aluminium screen acting as a skirt to the deck areas & extending as a balustrade over that act as a colonnade to thicken the façade & help with cooling interior living spaces. The transparency of the screen allows filtered light & cross ventilation to enter the internal spaces. The arched openings soften the form of the building & allow a visual to the landscaped courtyard from within.

Hood House is a playful protector that respects the heritage character of Carlton North whilst celebrating purposeful change. It is a luxurious yet compact and hyper-functional home defined by an exploration of contrast: it is ornamental and restrained, subdued and lively, stately and casual, compartmental and open.
For us, it is also a project with an unusual history. This dual-natured renovation evolved through the ownership of two separate clients. Originally intended to accommodate the needs of a young family of four, we shifted gears at the eleventh hour and adapted a thoroughly resolved design solution to the needs of only two. From a young, nuclear family to a blended adult one, our design solution was put to a test of flexibility.
The result is a subtle renovation almost invisible from the street yet dramatic in its expressive qualities. An oblique view from the northwest reveals the playful zigzag of the new roof, the rippling metal hood. This is a form-making exercise that connects old to new as well as establishing spatial drama in what might otherwise have been utilitarian rooms upstairs. A simple palette of Australian hardwood timbers and white surfaces are complimented by tactile splashes of brass and rich moments of colour that reveal themselves from behind closed doors.
Our internal joke is that Hood House is like Lazarus, risen from the ashes. We’re grateful that almost six years of hard work have culminated in this beautiful, protective and playful house, and so pleased that Glenda and Alistair get to call it home.

The rear extension is expressed as a simple gable form. The addition steps out to the full width of the block, and accommodates a second bathroom in addition to a tiny shed accessed on the rear facade.
The remaining 2/3 of the facade is expressed as a recessed opening with sliding doors and a gable window.
