This house sits on an excellent elevated section with views out over Woodridge and the western hills, and has a great northerly aspect. The house form is inspired by a traditional Californian bungalow, with wide welcoming roof forms, a tall, generous sheltered entry, and an over-sized bay window forming the kitchen and sitting area. A play of high ceilings soar over a contemporary open plan, allowing dramatic over-height windows to flood these areas with light all year round, while sun penetrates deep into the interior during winter. The shape of the house allows living spaces to open onto both north-east and north-west facing patios, creating a sunny spot to sit at any time of day and sheltering a private garden overlooking the valley beyond.
