‘Informal, unembellished structure and a design that makes sense of the surrounding, sloping landscape’ was the client’s brief for this Adelaide Hills home.
This new build could be described as organic with a rough render finish both externally and internally. The building is only 15 years old but has mellowed to a look of age and house well lived in for centuries.
A rustic, circular central staircase acts as a core, and wings of this home are presented at various levels creating an irregularity that makes for very interesting spaces. Doors have been kept to a minimum allowing these spaces simply flow.
The lower levels have a light filled living area conservatory that links through to the library, an informal living space and separate kitchen. Also, on the lower level there is a separate studio, bathroom, entrance hall, double garage and laundry.
Meandering upstairs you’ll find a children’s wing consisting of three bedrooms and large bathroom. On the other side of the curved stairwell is the parent’s wing, with a master bedroom suite, luxurious en suite and dressing room. Also on the upper level is a recently converted studio that was once a large outdoor living/balcony area.
