Of course this close proximity to Sunshine Coast's best attraction is one thing but it is when you come home that you really relax and enjoy living in the ultimate resort style entertainment home. This home channels iconic Anglo-American architectural features with a design that encompasses the elements required for modern day living in the Queensland climate. The result is an unpretentious, but sophisticated home perfectly suited to the Queensland lifestyle, climate and a family of any age.

It provides a practical, liveable space, with low-key luxury. The house is designed to be entirely different from the distinctive minimal and casual homes typical to the area. Hence the result being a laid-back Queensland take on a classic American design tailored, with common sense comforts. The homes Anglo-American traditional aesthetics like the detail of the wide architraves and skirting boards that compliments the beautiful wainscoting, and coffered ceilings also has elements that are fresh and modern, like vast slabs of unique granites, wide plank English Oak floors in a customised grey and extensive bi-fold doors which blur the lines between the inside and outside.

The pool and flat main lawn are hidden away and private at the front of the house, while the beautiful elevated and peaceful view of Buderim Mountain and the hinterland to the north is at the back for all to see. The challenge to combine the elements into one connected living space has been perfected, children playing can be easily observed while entertaining in a quieter environment. The thoughtful floor plan has an open flow with wide openings, from the private front yard with its Hamptons style garden and picket fenced pool, through the interior living space and directly onto the extensive back enclosed verandah.

The design of this home contributes to contemporary design practice by taking the next step in integrating inside/outside living. The enclosed verandah is actually the main room of the home. Instead of a glass railing, often felt to be obligatory for a space with a view, a metre high paneled wall gives the outdoor room a more interior feel yet takes nothing away from the spectacular outlook. Decorative ceilings, a hand-stacked stone two-way fireplace, a state-of-the-art outdoor kitchen with motorised blinds, allow a family to live and entertain in this room all year round.

The home adheres to best design practice for interior environment health and sustainability, the home was designed to enable life completely off the grid, with total solar power, ample rainwater storage, and an eco-sewage system. Furthermore, a healthy environment was attained with good air quality, through clever ventilation, and the use of materials with low emission of VOCs and other air pollutants.

The modern and innovative design practice can be found in the combination of traditional design and modern lighting. Ingenious LED lighting, which although not typical of traditional architectural elements, works beautifully to highlight their detail. For example, the dramatic coffered ceilings are showcased with a soft light border. In the master bathroom, a sheer curtain next to the freestanding bath brought an element of luxury to the space, but LED light on the window is used to add complete privacy when required.
