Glass House Mountain House


Construction is soon to commence on this anticipated house in Maleny on the Sunshine Coast designed for an australian family living and working in Bucharest, Romania.

Conceived to capture the essence and the magic of its magnificent site perched high above the Glass House Mountains, the house takes cues from Japanese sensibilities and Southern Californian mid century moderism to frame a contemporary lifestyle with glass, steel and natural timbers, beyond a large gabion wall of local stones, within a courtyard of calm contemplation and reflection and within spaces inextricably linked to the landscape with seamless thresholds between inside and outside.

Through a selection and 'negotiated' tender process, Nathan Quail of local Maleny builders Quail Constructions is the sucessful builder for the project and is due to start early site works later this month.

We await with anticipation the realisation of this house. We are all excited about what will be revealed in our new home. RH
