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

HABITAT HOUSE | Episode 02 — Designing with the Site

Every great home begins with a design that responds to its surroundings.

In Episode 02, we step away from the construction site and into the design studio to explore the thinking behind Habitat House.

From the arrangement of the floor plans and the relationship between living spaces, to capturing coastal views, maximising natural light and responding to neighbouring properties, every design decision has a purpose.

Wayne walks through the architectural plans and 3D model, explaining how the site’s unique characteristics have influenced the layout, orientation and overall form of our new home.

It’s an insight into the design process and the decisions that happen long before construction begins. A little longer this one as there is a bit to explain.

Follow along as we bring @habitat__house from the drawing board to reality.

North to the water at Bight Court, Mermaid Waters — a canal-front residence grown from timber, stone and greenery.

Breeze-block screens and battened timber wrap the street edge in privacy, while planted terraces spill from every level, blurring the house into its garden. Inside, a double-height living room opens north over the water — timber ceilings drawing the eye from marble hearth to skyline. Biophilic design doing what it does best: light, air, and green in every room.

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.
