Is This The Perfect Family House? (House Tour)

ByMyProperty Life

For the design language of this family house, Esat Design drew from rural Mediterranean architecture and interior design to establish a homey and rustic feel into Grèce. From here, the architect took that language and combined it with a contemporary yet edgy approach to the exterior architecture, interior design and decor that would then reflect the client’s energetic personalities. Moreover, the architect and builder worked hard to create a family house that tied into the suburban context of Brisbane, Australia.

The family house is perched on a hill and captures encompassing views of Brisbane city and beyond while also allowing the owners to live in an oasis-like home that calls back to their Greek heritage. As the house is surrounded by other family residences, the backyard is open to neighbouring yards to encourage family gatherings and allow the kids to play together. Moreover, the home was built by Batspac, which is owned by the homeowner’s brothers, therefore capturing the importance of family in its design.

Spread over three levels, the family house makes use of the steep slope it is positioned upon and embraces personal touches from the clients themselves. As such, Batspac built Grèce with the help of Esat Design in a modern Mediterranean architectural style. This includes the use of thick lines, bolstered architecture, stone floors and a timeless design that emulates the feeling of living in Greece. Major design elements of the home that are shown through the house tour include curves along the ceiling, window and door frames and even in pieces of furniture.

As the house tour moves upstairs, a glimpse of an inner courtyard, which echoes a traditional Greek courtyard, encourages a wealth of natural light into the home. Further down the hall, the children’s bedrooms have been arranged around a secondary small living space that encourages connection and reimagines play time. Positioned at the highest point of the family house is the main bedroom, which awards the owners with a sense of seclusion. Furthermore, the room features a private balcony with outlooks toward the city and surrounding nature, an ensuite with a concrete bath and an enormous walk-in-robe.
On the lowest level of the residence, a feeling of relaxation and calm has been emphasised with neutral materials and decor. Designed to emulate a wellness retreat, this level features a kitchenette, gym, sauna, cold plunge pool and locations for photoshoots that allow the client to work from home.

A dwelling that allows the clients to live, work and play within one space, Grèce deftly caters to their every needs. Driven by emotion, Esat Design and Batspac worked together to create the ultimate family house that honours the owners’ Greek heritage.

  • House of Shifting Sands

    Sited gently on the lower slope of a dramatic sixty foot high coastal bank and surrounded by miles of undeveloped Cape Cod National Seashore beaches and scrub pines is a warm, modern beach house that is more than just a place to enjoy uninterrupted ocean views and sea breezes. Our clients dreamed of a house that would work equally well as both a year-round family “camp” and also as a “thinking retreat” for collaborating with their colleagues. From the beginning of design it was critically important to us and to our clients – as well as the Town Conservation Commission and National Seashore representatives – that the house fit into its fragile site seamlessly. Our team responded with great care by designing the house to curve and shift softly with the natural topography and also by envisioning the new native and drought resistant landscaping growing back tight to the house as if both had always been there together. The main house is conceived of as a collage of overlapping, cantilevered planes and volumes that culminate in a large living / dining space defined by an asymmetrically arcing copper roof plane. Entry to the house is by way of a long ramp through what will in a few years be a thicket of native pines and bushes, then through curving cedar shingled planes. The inland side of the house is tucked into its shifting, sandy landscape and is comprised of cedar shingled planes that float above the ground and contain bedrooms, bathrooms, and the kitchen, and lower volumes of horizontal tongue and groove cedar boards that enclose bedrooms and a gathering space for teenage sons. On the Cape Cod Bay side, the house opens up through walls of glass to endless water views and heavenly sea breezes. In the middle of the house, just inside the front door, is an architectural “hole” that allows the house to breathe and cool itself naturally most of the year through its floor to ceiling awning windows, and which also provides views of the sky from a shady breezeway on the lower level. Along one wall of the hole is a trellis planted with evergreen and seasonally aromatic flowering vines.

Separated from the main house by a screen porch and contiguous deck, is a separate art / yoga / thinking studio that seemingly floats fourteen feet above the ground. Inside is a single large loft space as well as a full bath, and below is an open-air summer art studio and boat / beach toy storage, behind walls of wood slats and matching barn doors.
