A completely bespoke design and in the architect's own words, "a space in which the soul can play".
The architect's architect, the late Gabriel Poole is one of very few to be bestowed with the Royal Australian Institute of Architect's highest honours, the gold medal.
Not for pretentious or ego driven indulgence or mammoth monumental proportions, but rather delightful homes of creative and sensitive design, empathetic to both their environment and their inhabitants.
Ecological concerns underpin Poole's designs, with a focus on sustainability and unassuming directness, with a poetic wish for occupants to participate directly with their immediate environment, buildings weightlessly dancing in their surrounds.
Involved in the romance of design, Poole achieves both practical and functional outcomes with the enormous potential and reality for emotional connections between home and setting, here on the shores of lovely Lake Macquarie ...
