Architectural Masterpiece in Taringa's Premier Location
Situated in one of Taringa's most prestigious streets, 49 Ellerslie Crescent is destined to leave a lasting impression. Designed by Husband Architects and built by RAM Constructions in 2016, "Taringa House" is a unique offering that will appeal to the most discerning of buyers.
Located on a prominent inner-city ridgeline, Taringa House is a study in siting to yield views, forming connections with landscape and anchor to place. It boasts a perfect blend of modern architecture with warm and inviting spaces thanks to a mixed use of materials including polished concrete and metal panels, blackbutt and red cedar timber and 100-year-old recycled Melbourne bricks that feature throughout the home and landscape.
A towering Fig Tree, that has stood for generations and is a local landmark, is located at the front of this 635m block with a 15.4m street frontage. By virtue of its sheer size, the Fig Tree casts protective shadows throughout the warmer months and draws the eyes of admirers up to the architectural masterpiece that lies beyond.
"The connection between the living and outdoor spaces at this special home, has been carefully crafted to moderate views to the city across the landscape and between the formal and informal living areas. The visual and physical connections between different parts of the building across the outdoor space, achieves a courtyard feel without formal enclosure. This relationship is reinforced through clever manipulations of the faade interface which juxtaposes portals to interior spaces with reflections of an "outdoor room".
Underpinning the dwellings materiality is a pragmatic approach to the harsh Brisbane climate and timber and weatherboard volumes are complemented by recycled brick, metal and concrete shells. Living spaces are anchored by a recycled brick blade wall that shields the dwelling from the west while synchronously highlighting pathway from the street that eventually penetrates and terminates at the nexus between primary and secondary living spaces."
