Tree House, Fig Tree Pocket
A New Home designed for a young family after the 2011 Brisbane Flood. The habitable rooms, high above the waterline at tree top level, are still well connected to outdoor spaces, garden, and community at street level; crucial for contemporary family life in our Subtropical city. The 6m wide stacking sliding doors open the living spaces to north facing terraced decks, swimming pool and garden, encouraging easy outdoor living, views to children’s play areas, breezes and natural light.
