GUESTS STAY, IT WOULD FUNCTION BOTH AS A COMFORTABLE HOME, WITH HOTEL-LIKE ELEMENTS. thus, the house had to function firstly as a home to its two full-time occupants (and their pet
dalmatian) and secondly each guest bedroom is provided with its own en-suite and robe areas. essentially their guests can ‘check-in’ to their own space before moving into the main living
zones of the house. all images © ben hosking LACHLAN SHEPHERD ARCHITECTS RESPONDED WITH THE PLANNING TO THE SITE SURROUNDS BY POSITIONING THE SCHEME TO FACE THE GOLF COURSE TO THE SOUTH AND

inside. internally, the main kitchen and living zones are tied to the integrated plunge pool, which is heated year-round, providing a practical, usable pool and doubling as a water feature
which is viewed from all living zones. the spaces have been left open-plan; there are no walls diving the lounge, kitchen, dining, and sitting zones but instead, are separated visually and
