The scope was to create a modern Scandinavian style barn house with a central courtyard utilising the Northern winter sunlight. The dwelling was to have the key living areas and Master bedroom all wrap around this courtyard. Whilst steps in the home were inevitable, Hannah and Elmir wanted the central section to equally accessible from all areas, without sacrificing yard space.

“We were after a contemporary, single story dual gable barn design, beachside home. This was a new build and MJS managed the whole custom build project for us. We were after a sustainable design and it was imperative that our home included an internal courtyard that could be enjoyed from all the main spaces of the home. We wanted our home to enjoy lots of natural lighting, recycled bricks and polished concrete”

Building on such a tricky allotment was the catalyst for such a unique and stunning outcome. Combating a decent site slope, corner block setback, design guidelines with set envelopes required a lot of design input initially by Mick and his team.
