Hillside Residence rests above a beautifully landscaped sloping site, enveloped by greenery and commanding Botanic Garden vistas. Its design is predominantly over one level, allowing our clients to live, work and entertain long term in a place they love.
In some ways, the home presents as simple and even modest. A monolithic concrete soffit to the first floor with chamfer cements the form in the landscape and creates the illusion of floating. The expansive terrace cantilevers significantly create a feeling of floating in a forest.
The site’s dramatic natural topography informed the architectural form with a tapered, organic design nestled on the hillside at its base and extending out into the treetops on the upper level.
The floorplan captures garden outlooks, framed by expansive glazing. As well as seamless indoor-outdoor living, allowing the residents to step outside and entertain on the terrace, the heroic cantilevered space doubles as a shading device in hot months by creating a cooler outdoor area underneath.
Bio RMA is an internationally recognised Australian architecture and interior design practice, specialising in residential buildings which inspire great living. The buildings we create together capture the human spirit through our deep understanding of form, materials and aesthetics.
We are visionary. It’s in our DNA. We have redefined luxury residential architecture, and the quality of great living in Australia.
