Corner House, Sunshine North

New build family house

The Corner House is a contemporary new house designed in a minimal style set within a lush landscape and neutral palette. The house form responds to the corner blocks unique shape, whilst retaining simple yet strong geometric forms. Materials were to be high-quality, economic and robust, with a light brick facade on the ground floor, whilst a set back upper floor utilizes a textured concrete render finish. Natural timber highlights, lighting and the building form guide people to the entry, while large panels of glazing allow generous amounts of light and views to the adjacent landscape & gardens.

A large open plan kitchen, living & dining occupies much of the ground floor, with large expanses of glazing opening out onto the backyard garden creating indoor outdoor spaces. Private back- of-house rooms such as home office, guest bedroom, walk in pantry, laundry and garage are hidden away. The upstairs consists of a series of bedrooms, walk in robes, ensuites, bathrooms and study. A double height space occupies the stair and entry to the house allowing for a grand foyer feel.
