There is something special about Wybalena Grove, with its tree-house vibes, home bush appeal and unique architectural story. Nestled on the slopes of Black Mountain, within the coveted suburb of Cook, this home is enviable for its easy proximity to a mix of bohemian cafes and larger metropolitan centres. Classic 70's design features - extensive use of natural timber, dark tiled roof, split level design with gorgeous high ceilings and an indoor-outdoor experience from multiple spaces - lend the home a unique, bespoke modernist allure. Add ample natural lighting from extensive northern glazing and you have a great space for refuge and recharging, in keep with the restful ethos of life in the bush capital.
Designed by the renowned architect, Michael Dysart, the complex of townhouses is an example of the 20th century Sydney regional style. Collaboratively built on 11 hectares of reserve, the buildings were designed to blend within the site, offering a combo of privacy and easy access to communal spaces. Tennis courts, pizza oven, community garden and children's playgrounds, engender a lovely, shared spirit. A solar generation system powers the lighting to the public areas.

Wybalena Grove is a community housing development. It was established in the Canberra suburb of Cook in 1975, and comprises 105 townhouse units in a bushland setting of 30 acres. Wybalena Grove is located to the south west side of the junction of Lyttleton Crescent and Bindubi Street. The townhouses vary in size between 60 m2 for a single bedroom unit to 180m2 for a five bedroom unit. Units are grouped in twos, threes, or fours. They are stepped back such that each unit has privacy from its neighbours and unobstructed views. All units have a northerly aspect. Shared facilities include a playing oval, tennis courts, pizza oven, and children's playgrounds. A solar generation system sufficient to match the site's requirement for public area lighting is installed.
Wybalena Grove was established in 1974 by the Cook-Aranda Cooperative Housing Society. The Cooperative was formed at a time when there was interest in alternative forms of housing and when there was an influx of people moving to Canberra from other places. The origins of this interest resulted from a complex interaction of factors. Some wanted to explore the idea of 'living cooperatively'. Another group saw the Cooperative as a means to reduce building costs by using the same materials and building at the same time.
