This award winning home by respected architect James Russell is at one with its secluded surroundings. For sale by Christine Rudolph of Ray White New Farm.
Completely hidden from street level, this award-winning Clayfield home delivers a private and tranquil outlook from multiple internal and outdoor living spaces.
Designed by respected architect James Russell, the minimalist home was commended by the Australian Institute of Architects for its clever eco adaptability to tropical climates.

All living areas are on the lower level, including a separate living room with custom-built, floor to ceiling bookshelves making it perfect for use as a library or home cinema.

“The home's owners acquired an existing double story brick home and engaged award winning architect James Russell with their vision of achieving something very special,” Christine explained to WILLIAMS MEDIA.
“The floorplan is also well conceived, including a generous guest room on the lower level. I also love the inclusion of two fireplaces, one indoors, the other a sheltered outdoor entertainer's pavilion.”
“What I love most is the home’s timeless simplicity. There's a series of indoor and outdoor rooms with my favourite space in particular being the generous library.”

The open plan, lounge, dining and kitchen overlook the adjacent side garden and courtyard through large shuttle-style windows and sliding glass doors allowing in cool breezes and natural light.
A further lounge room with bay window offers views to a paved outdoor area and open fire for a cosy winter retreat.
