The second floor balcony is located off the home office area and offers sweeping views of the wooded home site.

Clean, horizontal lines and timber accents are key design elements for Mid Century Modern inspired homes. Timber-look aluminium battens by DecoBatten were used to create a modern yet tranquil outdoor space that accentuates the home’s characteristics and blends seamlessly with the surrounding bushland.

The Kipling house is a new addition to the Montrose neighborhood. Designed for a family of five, it allows for generous open family zones oriented to large glass walls facing the street and courtyard pool. The courtyard also creates a buffer between the master suite and the children's play and bedroom zones. The master suite echoes the first floor connection to the exterior, with large glass walls facing balconies to the courtyard and street. Fixed wood screens provide privacy on the first floor while a large sliding second floor panel allows the street balcony to exchange privacy control with the study. Material changes on the exterior articulate the zones of the house and negotiate structural loads.
