The ground floor combines a series of living spaces, connected yet separated by clever design features. The open-plan dining and lounge features a polished concrete floor and is surrounded by glass, looking across the salt-water pool on one side, and immaculate lawns on the other. The kitchen makes clever use of space and is just as understated, yet beautifully finished, as the rest of this home.

Ascending to the upper level, a central atrium housing a mature tree creates a connection between the two levels, and the outside world. Upstairs are four bedrooms, a study and spacious play area, or an extra living room. The master bedroom occupies one end of the floor, complete with spacious walk-in robe and ensuite. The remaining three bedrooms are lined up neatly in a row.

The breeze block is back in fashion. From the street the brick screen does indeed intentionally resemble the classic brick however Russell has gone down the clay brick path, turned on edge to expose the bricks porous internal configuration. In doing so its design provides a delicate layer of privacy, capturing the coastal breezes from all rooms and successfully bringing the outside in.

And while it has been designed to capture the coastal breezes, it has also been fitted with discreet ducted airconditioning throughout the home, ensuring climate comfort year-round. The current owners simply said, 'they love living in this home'. They have embraced the Queensland climate we are blessed to enjoy, through the use of intelligent designs and use of abstract materials - a new standard for the area.
