AIRLIE

Nestled within the hills of Airlie Beach, the residence embodies a seamless integration of tropical elements and a conscious use of local materials, creating a harmonious relationship with the surrounding environment. The architectural design features natural timbers, clean white render, expansive glass and locally sourced stone, lending a sense of authenticity and warmth to the structure.

On the first floor, the living spaces are strategically oriented to maximize both ocean and hinterland views. Expansive glass openings connect the interior and exterior, allowing the home to bask in natural light and ocean breezes while offering panoramic views. The open-plan layout encourages cross-ventilation, promoting passive cooling, which is further enhanced by high ceilings and deep overhangs, providing shade from the tropical sun.

The use of natural timbers extends to the rooflines, adding texture and warmth to the façade, while the stone elements, carefully integrated into the structure, ground the house to its landscape, evoking a timeless connection to the local geology.

Lush landscaping, with tropical plants surrounding the home, complements the architecture and blurs the line between built form and nature. The house offers a tranquil and luxurious retreat, celebrating the beauty of Queensland living.
