The T-shaped property was designed to steadily reveal the magic of the location, gradually unveiling breathtaking views of the Noosa Hinterland and coast. Up on the crest of the peaceful ridgeline, the only sounds are stirred by the breeze and humming whipbirds. The simple, brutalist home design constructs a secluded sanctuary in the wide open environment, laying strong linear forms against nature’s beauty. Inside, a tactile, raw palette calms the living spaces. Bedrooms and bathrooms prioritize simplicity and tranquility. Terraces connect to the pool, tennis court, and gardens, creating a harmonious indoor-outdoor retreat. =.mKG3gXXWv7XMD-GWkax7bloSWsIWmBzSz3OPRaKEVR0 Photographer: [Timothy Kaye](=.4ByJsWpiOBzm_f5IuaXikhPNwrEj7Tpu10YKG-OXuIE) The [brutalist house exterior](=.L4cP0SFuW5JrbmNQEaPAGite2rO0PwJIcZB8GdePZEo) cuts sharply into the grass-covered verge, overlooking the wild forest below.
