Sunrise Terrace is a contemporary family home designed for a young family and built to make the most of its hillside block.

​

Rather than flattening the site, the home follows the natural contours of the hill. It steps down the slope in a series of connected forms, giving each level its own outlook and opening the home to spectacular views across the valley to the ranges beyond.

​

Crisp white walls and black-framed windows are warmed by vertical timber cladding, which marks the two-storey section of the home. Frameless glass balustrades keep the views open from the elevated deck, and the pool sits on a terrace of natural stone paving, ready for long summer days.

​

Inside, the palette is light, calm and easy to live with. Light timber floors run through the open living, dining and kitchen spaces, and sheer curtains soften the natural light.

 

The kitchen is built around a generous white island with a waterfall edge, brushed brass tapware and timber stools, so the family can cook, eat and gather in one place. A timber staircase connects the levels.

​

Native planting, boulders and gravel paths tie the home back into the landscape, so it sits comfortably on the hill rather than dominating it.

​

The result is a home that works hard for a busy young family while making the most of a view they will never tire of.
