Architectural meets elemental

Light, nature, and water set the stage for this minimalist sculptural new home, which includes two storeys and a full basement 

Designed by Swatt | Miers Architects

From the architects:

The entry sequence to this new, two-storey residence is a study in expansion and compression: the pathway, flanked by a long, linear infinity-edge water feature, opens to the sky, while a long, low steel canopy compresses the exterior entrance space and focuses attention on the dramatically hued entry door.

Accessed through new and carefully choreographed landscape paths and gardens, and relaxing outdoor areas, the new interior spaces feature an abundance of natural light.


An interior garden of gravel and a single boulder visually anchor the sculptural form of the free standing, steel framed stair.

The low ceiling of the entrance gallery gives way to the dining and living great room located on axis with the entrance and featuring a painting by Michael Müller.

Walls of glass connect the interior spaces to the beautiful new gardens.

The ground floor level includes ‘public’ spaces – kitchen, family, dining and living areas.

The primary suite is located on the ground floor level.

The upper level includes an office and guest bedrooms in two wings connected by a floating bridge with north-facing clerestory windows above.
