Magic position directly opposite the playing fields!
This solar passive, three-bedroom ensuite home sits across from endless green fields and gazes toward the twin mountains of Majura and Ainslie. A collab between the owner builder and architect, the home is forward thinking with an earthy, raw beauty. The re-jigged form is reminiscent of the traditional brick veneer suburban home but also completely transformed – modern exterior, Colorbond roof and detailing and timber eves with exposed beams. Flipped and re-arranged on the inside, packed with gorgeous detailing and sustainable ingenuity, it includes an angular northern extension that banks northern warmth and reaches deep into the rear garden.
It was the perfect pairing – innovative owner builder and architect Brett Lowe – resulting in a warmly engaging home that feels very much a natural part of the landscape. Not just a house but a lifestyle – gentle, light filled, temperate, economical and productive. Vegetables grow in dedicated beds, olives are picked and bottled and rainwater collected in tanks. Solar chimney, insulation, heat pump hot water and German engineered tilt & turn double glazing’s add to the sustainable comfort. Open plan living delivers a feeling of generosity and the cohesive material palette soothes with its organic hues – soft whites, patterned greys, warm timber, touches of light birch ply.
The formal square of the front garden, rows of ornamental pear and the lofty, peaked form of the double carport, frame and privatise the home. There is a welcoming foyer and a clever flow via a mudroom and separate powder room, back and forth from the garage.
A play of angles and ceiling heights adds depth and space to the otherwise open arrangement of the living, dining and kitchen. Gallery white walls allow art to pop in the sunshine and honest materials deliver a kitchen that is both robust and timeless – stainless steel worktops, lots of white cabinetry and a generous pantry. Light tumbles from above, as a high void and automated clerestory window contributes airflow, allowing the hot air to escape in summer. The whole area opening wide via a double bank of glass doors, flowing deck side, where you can dine alfresco whilst enjoying the outlook to the gardens.
The master overlooks the gorgeous front gardens and beyond to the open green of the ovals. There is an ensuite bathroom and a built-in-robe. Both additional bedrooms also have excellent storage and the family bathroom serves-up a relaxing tub and an integrated laundry. Both bathrooms are finished in floor-to-ceiling tiling and employ grey feature ceramics with the textural feel of raw concrete.
The garage doors conveniently fall open on both sides delivering the space to the front and rear. Fully lined with great shelving and work benches, illuminated by rows of skylights and with polished concrete floors, the space is more than just a car park. Think creative studio, rumpus room, workshop…basically, a big flexible room that can shift and morph according to your needs.
The home sits across from Hackett Oval and is a few steps from Bluegum Primary and Secondary Schools and the local pre-school. It is moments from the local shops of Hackett and minutes to the Dickson hub. Think great community, kids free-range…walking to school, riding bikes, playing footy on the oval, traversing the bushland trails of Mount Majura and all just moments from the vibrant happenings of the inner north and the CBD.
