“a home that wraps its owners in a gentle and calm embrace”
Barker Residence
our services: design and documentation
location: 36 East Parkridge Drive, Cairns
size: 265sqm
A panoramic view across the city caught the hearts of the owners. In many ways this house is designed as a place of calm, drawing from the expansive panorama of sky and distant Trinity Inlet view. Resting on the edge of the hill face, the large deck seems to float above the city far below. This is a gentle house, clean and uncluttered with its elegant detailing. Refined touch points complement the careful planning to ensure this abode easily supports the busy work life for this couple, their dog and regular visitors
