The Nest is a family home tucked away on a large bush block offering an acreage lifestyle within inner‐city Brisbane. Sitting on 4000m2 of land, the house was designed to heavily leverage the garden and north‐east aspect. Designed as an essentially single story, transparent pavilion engaging with the north‐east garden, the house uses the tennis court and lower level garaging to adjust the site to suite this agenda. A house of robust, tactile materials, this home was the second we had done for these clients, affording the project a rare opportunity to push the envelope.
