Glenleith House

New Build.

Designing the Glenleith House for a young family of three was an exciting opportunity to create their forever home. The family’s vision centred around a minimalist aesthetic, with clean lines and a strong emphasis on privacy. While the structure needed to be solid and durable, they desired a tranquil, naturally lit environment with well-defined, intentional spaces.

In response to their brief, we envisioned a Contemporary Minimalist form, infused with Modernist influences. To bring a sense of harmony and calm, we incorporated biophilic elements throughout the entrance & all the living spaces, offering a refreshing contrast to the home's solid features.

The ground floor is dedicated to the living areas, including the kitchen and dining spaces, designed to flow seamlessly into adaptable indoor-to-outdoor public areas. The first floor houses the private spaces, including the bedrooms and an outdoor terrace, ensuring a peaceful retreat for each family member.

When selecting external materials, we opted for Australian-made bricks composed of natural sand and recyclable glass aggregates. This choice enhances sustainability by not only incorporating eco-friendly materials as well as supporting local manufacturing. The colour palette was carefully chosen to harmonize beautifully with the coastal surroundings, enhancing the home's connection to its natural environment.
