Taking inspiration from a traditional Japanese lantern, Toro house (Lantern house) has been custom crafted by its architect owners to foster a sense of place and wellbeing while delivering a highly adaptable layout designed to function independently or adapt to accommodate inter-generational family living. Key to the success of the design is the home's artful manipulation of light and space with layers of screening and highlight windows framing curated vistas while a robust palette of materials anchors the home to its site. With sustainability and flexibility at its core, the bespoke two-storey home has been built with a focus on detail with three double bedrooms on the upper level including a king-sized main bedroom with an ensuite. Innovative architecture blends with eco-friendly design principles by combining reclaimed materials and carefully selected finishes while a choice of living areas and a fluid transition between indoors and out promotes harmony. Featuring dual street frontage and a sunny NE rear aspect, Toro House takes full advantage of its corner site, with access via York Street to a lock-up garage with a 17sqm loft that could be converted into a home office or self-contained creative space, with scope for a fifth bedroom.
