Striking Architectural Home for Urban Family

With a nod to its once industrial inner-city surrounds, Warren Haasnoot from design firm Curious Practice has created a striking tri-level home with urban family living in mind. Crafted from a palette of timber, steel and glass, this tri-level haven treads lightly on the environment with its solar passive design, louvre windows allowing maximum airflow, 9kw solar system, and 5000l rainwater tank. A stunning example of small footprint, big impact living, crisp, minimalist interiors reveal a bright open plan layout, 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom accommodation, and rare for the area secure parking for three cars. Superb alfresco areas have cleverly been incorporated into the design with a huge covered entertaining area and a landscaped native backyard that pays homage to plants local to the Hunter region.
