Case Study - Project 19
2011 HIA Sunshine Coast HOUSE OF THE YEAR
“Our first spec home has just taken out the prestigious HIA House of the Year, for The Sunshine Coast. It was a two year labour of love with an equally lengthy design stage prior to the build. Our main criteria for this spec house was to create a home which was energy efficient, included multiple outdoor areas for entertaining in all weather conditions, easily maintained and overall, a house we would love to live in and be proud of. To win this award through our own design, draft and construction, is most certainly the pinnacle of our small boutique building company’s achievements.”
Exposed concrete, American Oak flooring, composite aluminium cladding and reams of glass create a contemporary statement in this cleverly crafted residence. Landscaped gardens and outdoor entertaining is seamlessly integrated via discreetly stacked New Guinea Rosewood doors and a unique transparent roller links the galley kitchen with poolside decking. Custom made commercial style sliding doors, track the length of the upper level hallway to provide a choice of privacy or open-plan living and the Soji-inspired balcony doors disappear entirely to blend the dedicated wet-bar with water-view deck. Maximising natural climate control, this home forges a fashionable future for small-lot design.
This house is currently for sale. Please feel free to contact us if you wish to arrange an inspection.
