The Weekender

This three-bedroom retreat gives a city family a genuine reason to slow down. Perched high on a hill, the home is built from natural materials, timber, glass, metal and concrete, with no synthetic finishes, for a look that will hold up over time rather than date.

The clients engaged Sorensen Caldon Ferris on reputation and lived remotely throughout the build, so clear communication and trust in the detail mattered more than usual. Expansive hardwood decks extend the living space outdoors, and louvred windows are positioned to capture the breeze through the home. In the kitchen, timber and concrete benchtops keep the material palette honest and simple.

More a weekender than a house, this is a place for a busy family to switch off, slow down and spend time together.
