Text description provided by architect.
Wallaby Lane House and Studio are located at Tinbeerwah on the Sunshine Coast.
The dwellings were designed by Jolyon Robinson of Robinson Architects for a family relocating from Sydney, with construction finalised late 2013.
The site, a long slither in shape, is just over 2 hectares. Established bushland in the centre of the property separates the two buildings.
The property is not serviced by town water or sewerage. An onsite waste water treatment system looks after both buildings and rainwater is harvested.
The house sits high on the site and is linear in plan to follow the natural contour.
The house plan is spacious yet compact. No space is wasted.
Orientated to the north, large eaves and a fly-over roof shade the building.
Cross ventilation, natural daylighting and beautiful views to Cooroy Mountain are maximised.
