This project is a new pavilion-style home on a 46,560m² block at Tallebudgera, in the Gold Coast hinterland. The site is zoned as rural and adjoining properties include a horse riding centre.
Site constraints as per the Gold Coast City Planning Scheme include the low potential for bushfire hazard, acid sulphate soils, flood inundation, and unstable soils.
Despite these challenges, the majority of mature tress on the site will be retained, with the structure lightly touching the earth atop a ridge.
The new dwelling is to demonstrate responsible environmental management, with rainwater
harvesting tanks positioned under the suspended timber floor of the western pavilion. A neutral colour palette further assists to minimise the impact of this development.
