KIRK Courtyard Residence - Noosa Queensland - Residential Architecture Building - Model

Architectural Model

The residence occupies a high spur line west of the city, with its elevated position affording panoramic views to the south and east and more intimate views of surrounding hills to the north.

The house is intended as a home that remains timeless yet modest – elemental and restrained by simplifying the materials and expressing their inherent qualities, enhancing and unique qualities of the surrounding landscape.

The proposed new residence replaces a house built by the client's family on the site 35 years earlier. The residence occupies a high spur line west of the city, with its elevated position affording panoramic views. The house follows a courtyard typology, using this idea as an organising principle to create a serene centre. From the point of entry the visitor transitions through a series of courtyards, each organised around water features reflecting the sky above and drawing it down into the house.
