This house is part of the Elysium Noosa development whereby all the houses are designed by prominent architects.
The design concept for this house was to separate the living and sleeping spaces with the use of courtyard spaces. These courtyards would then encourage cross ventilation and the entry of indirect and direct sunlight and daylight. The junction between the two wings becomes a breezeway that allows occupants and visitors to view the internal courtyard – the village green!
The sleeping pavilion is conceived as an enclosed box that provides protection from the street edge and becomes an introverted space. The living pavilion which is skewed to the north opens on both sides to the garden space (public court) and a private court to the south. Seen as elements in the landscape, the siting of these pavilions gives all spaces an outlook and view without compromising the privacy of the occupants.
