In Mount Martha, this single-storey residence is a sanctuary enveloped by nature.
Briefed to create a multi-generational family retreat, Kister Architects designed zones for privacy and entertaining, interplaying openness and enclosure.
Biophilic principles integrate the interior and exterior, exploiting the northerly aspect locating a triangular plan around a courtyard.
