"Oxlade Drive House" Aviary-Inspired Architectural Family Abode
Awarded both the Australian Institute of Architects (AIA) National Award and the People's Choice award for Residential Architecture, this award-winning residence challenges the norms of Queensland house design. An astounding collaboration by architect James Russell and Kendall Constructions creates a hidden oasis within an aviary-style enclosure in an exclusive New Farm precinct.
Composed of a series of intersected pavilions generating a strong connection to the outdoors, the linear configuration is creative and well-considered, forming flexible zones for family living while still permitting independent spaces for work and play.
Refined simplicity is displayed across the dark palette, with red ironbark flooring and black melamine walls providing a framework for your art and drawing your eye to the greenery.
Exhibiting seamless indoor-outdoor flow, stacking doors integrate the Miele kitchen/dining/living area and separate guesthouse to the fully screened dual courtyards, inviting beautiful breezes, line of sight, and protection from the elements and insects.
This sense of connection allows you to immerse yourself in the jasmine, lemon myrtle, lilly pilly and magnolias that surround the central courtyard, featuring a Jardan light, outdoor fireplace, Beefeater BBQ and raised seating for family meals and alfresco events.
A sparkling swimming pool also resides on the property, resting by the detached guesthouse, featuring a kitchenette, bathroom, surround sound and cascading library shelving with a custom ladder, to accommodate guests, a home office or a media retreat.
A skylight hall upstairs grants access to the four bedrooms, including the primary suite, featuring garden outlooks, wall-length robes and an ensuite. The children's bedrooms occupy a separate wing with retractable walls that can be opened to create one large space.
Resting in a premier pocket on the New Farm peninsular, this location offers an exclusive lifestyle only footsteps from Merthyr Park, New Farm Park, the river, cafes, and transport. Presenting a prestigious opportunity without equal, this property offers but is not limited to:
• 375sqm aviary-style family home on a 519sqm allotment
