T
his amazing Glen Osmond home feels
as though it is perched in the treetops
- overlooking the whole of Adelaide
from the living spaces. The owners wanted
to create a home that maximised the use of
their fortunate block.
The brief from the clients to architect Marco
Spinelli, of Architects Ink, was to create
a view in every room. Opening the house
to the nature that surrounded it was the
most important factor for the architects to
consider. The clients also wanted a home
that was quite sustainable and didn’t cost a
lot to run.
The home has been designed around the
clients; their needs and their lifestyle. The
house features two separate living spaces;
downstairs and upstairs.

Downstairs is dedicated to the couple’s
sons who have their own bedrooms and
study area, bathroom and lounge. Upstairs
is where indoor living meets the outdoor
entertainment area, divided by a large sliding
door. This is the focal point of the home,
where the clients can bring their extended
family together and create an open space for
them to interact.
Elevate™ Series 50 sliding doors were used
to create the main indoor/outdoor living
space. The multi-stacking doors fold back
flush with each other to open up the focal
living spaces in this project.
To ensure all views were maximised
throughout the home, as per the clients’
brief, a high quality window and door system
was required.
The strategic use of glazing in this home
allows the clients’ brief of maximising views
to be met. There is a view from every room
in the house, allowing the family to embrace
their surrounds from the comfort of their
home.
York Glass & Aluminium completed this
project using the Elevate™ Aluminium
Systems range of aluminium windows and
doors.
Louvres windows were used in bedrooms
and living spaces to create cross ventilation
throughout the home.
