Unique Back-to-Front Residence in Downer
Designed for a unique block in Downer, Canberra, this contemporary double-storey home turns convention on its head. With the northern sun to the street frontage, the home adopts a "back-to-front house" design, positioning the primary outdoor living spaces & private courtyard at the front of the property, sheltered behind established hedges for privacy & a peaceful garden outlook.
Clean white forms, generous glazing and a refined material palette create a timeless architectural statement, while polished concrete floors provide durability, thermal comfort & a seamless connection between indoor & outdoor spaces. The result is a light-filled family home that embraces passive solar design, maximises natural light throughout the day & offers a modern lifestyle tailored to its unique site.
