Matt Barrett

Set within an exclusive new native bush development, this three-level family home is carefully nestled into a steep hillside, responding sensitively to the site’s topography and surrounding landscape. The street-facing elevation is deliberately modest, presenting as a single storey to maintain a restrained presence and respect the natural setting.
The architecture opens progressively to the rear, taking full advantage of expansive bush views and natural light. Honest, durable materials—timber, concrete, and steel—define the home’s character, providing warmth, texture, and longevity while blending seamlessly with the native environment.
Internally, the home is organised to balance family living, privacy, and connection to nature, with open-plan spaces flowing to terraces and outdoor areas. The result is a considered, contemporary residence that sits lightly on its hillside, offering a calm, durable, and nature-integrated home in an exclusive bush setting.
