colour house, sandhurst

“Build me a very colourful house, with larger than life spaces, for my extended family”


Brightly coloured over scaled simplistic shapes were woven around the large trees on the vast property, nestling like giant colourful sculptures in amongst the trees. You are pulled into the house by a cerise fish-like shape across a pond, passing the ribbed double volume pyramid with glass cap.

At the entrance hall you are greeted by the ox-blood study and the butter yellow main living space, this leads onto the outside entertainment area with reflection/evaporation pond and Frieda Kahlo-blue hot tub room at the back. The children’s wings extend into the garden, linked back to the house with an art gallery radiating around the oldest tree in the garden.
