MYERS ELLYETT

Brookfield Spotted Gum House

Brisbane, Queensland, Australia

-

This is a house informed by a strong dialogue with our clients and an appreciation of their personal experience of living in this place over many years and their love of its landscape. It is situated on an elevated semi-rural site in Brookfield on the western outskirts of Brisbane. The design has been developed to integrate with remnants of the existing garden and respond to wonderful southern, eastern and western views over nearby green hills and valleys. We've also been responsive to the clients' wish for a family place for varying activities built with natural materials. The house is conceived as being anchored to the site, with stone terraces that emerge from the sloping ground. These terraces form the ground planes internally and externally upon which a lightweight structure clad in timber boards provides varying levels of enclosure.
