This project was a small block subdivision that required careful negotiation of the small street frontage. The brief was to make the home feel vast in a restricted context while also delivering a feeling of secluded isolation. The property went from having one house to a house and studio and then to a house, studio and pool.
Zaher Architects applied creative solutions to successfully create two living areas despite the irregularly-shaped block. The outcome is a warm, stylish, bright home that matches the surrounding style of property in Bangalow. Although this Staghorn house is in a high density area, privacy was a key consideration and a sense of serenity prevails as a result.
