Australia is one of those lucky places where bad weather is usually not a big issue. Mark Austin and Andrew Maynard โ Directors at Austin Maynard Architects โ clearly took advantage of it, to design a contemporary modernist inspired house that had โjust the right amount of spaceโ for the young family it was built for.
The property fits perfectly into its surrounding natural landscape.
Not only because of the floor-to-ceiling windows which flood the interior with sunlight, but also because of the perfectly preserved wood panelling covering almost every wall and ceiling.
The Tree House takes its name from the giant protected Oak tree growing in the middle of the lot. In their brief to Architect Matt Fajkus, the clients asked to design a contemporary house around the tree as well as to enhance as much as possible the connection between inside and outside.
