This rural Kaiwaka home by Box architects features a sleek, black design that brings a contemporary edge to its country setting. The mono-pitch structure is designed to maximise light and views of the Brynderwyn hills while mitigating exposure to the elements.
Key to the design is extensive Altherm joinery, including large 2.7m-high APL Architectural Series sliders for seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Metro Series windows and ten roof windows ensure the home is filled with natural light year-round.
An expansive outlook that embraces the location and all that comes with it.
