A bamboo court reaching two storeys high is the heart of this contemporary family home.

The central feature visible from almost every room in the home is designed to bring the landscape and natural light in and create a focal point of interest by day and night.

A very white and modern palette was requested by the client, which was softened with elements of natural stained timber including an entry pivot door and external soffits. The lush green bamboo is a striking natural contrast against the white and the bamboo’s height accentuates an impressive double storey arrival space.

Elements of fun both practical and enjoyable which also facilitates greater family connection within the home includes a bridge which crosses the void to the childrens’ wing and the ability to open the two bedrooms into one larger room to be shared together and enjoyed with friends or closed for privacy and study.
