This is a three split level home built on a sloping block with four bedrooms three bathrooms and a swimming pool. Because of the secluded nature of this house, the aim was to bring natural light into the home and to make it as open plan as possible. The use of clearstorey louvre windows on the top level ensured plenty of light and cross ventilation to the top floor. We incorporated a floor to ceiling window to the living area which was built as a pod off the back of the house. This feature gives the inhabitants a feeling of floating in the tree canopy whilst overlooking the tropical salt water pool.

The internal features revolve around easy living with a large bank of stacker doors off the kitchen spilling onto the deck, bringing the outside wildlife into the living areas. The gourmet chefs kitchen has a large walk in butlers pantry, and although the house is built over three levels, it is possible to see and communicate throughout the house on every floor. This is because each split level spills into the next with voids, windows and opening allowing you to look through the house no matter where you may be located.
