1 Passchendaele Street

Tarragindi QLD 4121

The architect designed home makes maximum use of its unique location. It has been built to capture cool summer breezes and to suit the site and its expansive views. The outdoor entertaining area is virtually an extension of the magnificent Toohey Forest. Since its completion in November 1983, the property has been occupied by the original owners who have raised their family in a home designed for both family living and formal entertainment.
Design Features
The property has three levels, with garages and ample hobby/storage/gym at ground level from Passchendaele Street, living and entertaining areas above, but at ground level to Monash Road, and bedrooms on the upper level.
External walls are brick and western red cedar, materials noted for their thermal insulation properties, and the roof is tiled. All windows are tinted glass for additional shielding from heat and glare.
The home presents an almost blank facade to Monash Road which is the west/northwest aspect, and thus excludes the heat of summer afternoons. The opposite side of the home has numerous aluminium casement windows, angled to scoop in the cool summer breezes.

Atrium entry with raking ceiling and exposed rafters
Spacious lounge room with raking ceiling and exposed rafters
