A focus of any home design, and particularly
one on a corner site, is achieving a balancing act
between privacy and attractive views. That was
addressed for this contemporary home, along
with strategies to create open, versatile interiors.
The brief to house designer Daniel Lomma
was for a two-storey home with plenty of room
for all four family members to have their own
space, now and into the future.
“Being on a corner, the owners wanted both
street aspects of the home to be appealing,” says
Lomma. “They also wanted privacy to the back-
yard and outdoor living areas and to maximise
outlooks to a nature reserve across the road.”
Perhaps the key request, however, was that
the home blur the lines between indoors and

opens to the backyard, garden and new pool.
“Dramatic street appeal has been achieved
through balanced geometric treatments of both
elevations of the home, with character finishes
including durable aluminium wood-look battens
and split face and smooth masonry blocks.”
Adding further visual interest, the home’s
footprint steps in at both the entry and a side
porch area. As well as maximising natural light
