This home is a thoughtfully designed sanctuary, blending family living with a deep connection to nature. Situated on a small lifestyle block, it accommodates the owners’ Clydesdale horses and pet goat. Inspired by an on-site Golden Elm tree, curved timber slats and perforated metal screens provide privacy, shading, and structural support.

The compact layout places all bedrooms upstairs, with a lift for accessibility and a separate sleepout for the son, linked by a boardwalk overlooking the stables. The open-plan living area, with varied ceiling heights and light-filled voids, connects seamlessly with the landscape. Built-in daybeds and cozy nooks offer private retreats within the home’s open, nature-centered design.
