BENAROON RESIDENCE

TALLEBUDGERA qld

Set on a large semi-rural site, Benaroon has been designed as a village for a multi-generational family. The project consists of a family home, a workspace, a secondary dwelling for the grandparents, an art space, space for cars, a swimming pool, and a horse paddock. Gardens separate each of these spaces and act as important tools for zoning, light, ventilation, privacy and in some cases bathing.

The buildings maintain a low profile and step down the site from the street to the horse paddock. All structures are single-storey, and have a strong focus on connection to ground and the greater landscape.

Materials are simple yet robust; a combination of concrete and brick anchor the structure to the ground. The roof softens these forms absorbing the green hues of the surrounding bushland. A hardwood arbour ties each of the wings of the main house together creating protection for the building while blurring the line of where the house ends and the landscape begins.
