Inspired by the natural landscape and wildlife, this holiday home speaks the local vernacular with finesse. The Island House was constructed on a vacant block on south Stradbroke Island (Minjerribah), a rare rainforest and wetlands island with sculpted sand dunes and pristine beaches.
The open-plan design and lack of fencing creates a high level of visibility through the home. This enables you to be part of the landscape, allowing you to engage, admire, relax, interact with and enjoy the land the house sits upon.
The raw materiality of this single-storey dwelling connects to the landscape in style and offers plenty of space for the family to come together.
Outside, a generous entertaining deck with cosy seating and alfresco dining gives a quiet place to capture the essence of what this home is all about.
On a quiet afternoon at dusk, you might discover a mob of wallabies quietly foraging near the livistona palms, pandanus and large Australian native paperbark trees on the site. The Island House is a picture-perfect location that is the ultimate in rleaxed living.
