Sunbrite Modern

  • A sub-tropical modern design with a natural material palette of stone, timber & concrete. 
  • The dwellings bulk & mass was pushed back into the site to consume useless south facing backyards overlooking neighbours. This allowed beautiful light filled North facing courtyards behind the street front carports, also capitalising on views to the Broadbeach skyline. 
  • Vegetation was integral to the design with wedges of the building mass carved out & vegetation veins penetrating the internal spaces. Rooftop & First Floor planters provide cooling vegetation, healthy living spaces & soften views from above.
  • Passive principles for light, energy & breeze with timeless architecture that reflects the sub-tropical climate in which it is sited and therefore performs where & how we live. 
  • Recently completed with Steve James Constructions.
  • Photography by Kristian van der Beek – kristianbeek.com

Perched high on Hill Ave, Burleigh Heads — a home suspended between canopy and coastline.

Crisp white planes float above battened timber and off-form concrete, framing the Gold Coast skyline from every terrace. The pool wraps the living edge in a curve of stone; deep verandahs and a slatted entry court temper the northern sun, while glass dissolves the line between kitchen, deck and horizon.

Now under construction at Mudgeeraba — a family home stepped down its sloping site beneath horizontal planes.

Board-formed concrete and blackened timber hold the house to the hill, while planted terraces blur each level into the landscape. A cantilevered pool floats over the carport below; deep eaves and screened verandahs do the climatic work, filtering the sunlight and opening the living rooms to the valley breeze.
