Secluded within the lush greenery of the Sunshine Coast hinterland, this stunning residence with detached holiday accommodation showcases sophisticated modern design principles. The dwelling's strong geometric forms are complemented by contrasting tones of cool-concrete and warm-timber, our contribution focused on producing fenestration solutions allowing immersion into its rich natural surroundings.

The standout feature is undoubtedly the expansive, floor-to-ceiling corner glazing in the main living area. Visualise relaxing or dining in the living room while you absorb uninterrupted panoramic views provided by a 3.7 metre silicon butt-joined glass unit.
This breath-taking glazed assembly, engineered using our Series 424 framing, removes any obstruction to the sight line which effectively dissolves the room extents, making the space feel boundless and bathing it in natural light while maintaining thermal efficiency afforded by special 21.52mm Low-E laminate glass. It’s more than a window; it’s a portal to nature.

The modern design aesthetic merges clean geometric lines and a refined palette of natural materials with an abundance of glass harmoniously integrated with the raw beauty of its surroundings.

This commitment to connection extends throughout the residence with expansive glazing utilising a range of our product series, each used in a purposeful and innovative way.
Bedrooms open onto private terraces through sleek Series 618 sliding-stacking doors, with the master bedroom featuring an impressive 4 x 3 metre corner Series 618 stowing all its panels into wall cavities on both ends.
Bathrooms utilise large Series 400 fixed-glass windows to frame the views of private gardens and Series 525 louvre windows for light and ventilation. Each unit's living area achieves seamless transitions to outdoor entertaining courtyards via our Series 411 bi-fold doors and bi-fold windows or Series 758 configured as benchtop windows due to the large dimensions.

Our durable window and door frames provide a crisp, contemporary definition against the building's materials, ensuring thermal comfort and security while maximizing the visual connection. They illuminate interiors with natural light and provide indoor-outdoor living in ultimate style and comfort.
