Sprawling Nature Abodes

The Mountain View Home is Closely Related to the Landscape

— September 5, 2014 — Art & Design
Tim Stewart Architects designed the 'Mountain View Home,' a contemporary residence located in Queensland, Australia.

Located on a beautiful 5000-square-foot plot on the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, the project responds to the clients' need for escaping the city. The architects arranged the home as a series of pavilions, which allow the views to be accessible throughout. Most specifically, the Glasshouse Mountains become a prominent visual feature. Externally, the horizontal roofline helps the house establish a relationship with the landscape.

The architects took care to arm the house with sustainable practices to reduce the home's overall environmental impact. For instance, the envelope can be open and closed, improving the home's natural ventilation and lessening the need for artificial temperature control. The client has complete control over the comfort in the home, while being able to enjoy the natural surroundings.
Trend Themes
1. Nature-inspired Architecture - There is an opportunity for architects and designers to create more eco-friendly and sustainable homes that are inspired by nature and integrate seamlessly into the surrounding landscape.
2. Sustainable Living - Homeowners are increasingly interested in sustainable living practices that reduce the environmental impact of their homes and lifestyles, creating opportunities for builders and contractors to offer eco-friendly options.
3. Flexible Living Spaces - The trend towards creating homes with flexible spaces that allow for indoor-outdoor living and increased comfort while still being energy efficient presents opportunities for builders and architects to design innovative spaces that meet the needs of modern homeowners.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture and Design - Architects and designers have prime opportunities to create nature-inspired, sustainable homes that integrate seamlessly into the surrounding landscape, offering more eco-friendly options to clients.
2. Construction - Builders and contractors can take advantage of the trend towards sustainable living and create energy efficient homes that promote eco-friendly practices, meeting a growing demand from environmentally conscious consumers.
3. Real Estate - Real estate professionals can leverage the trend towards flexible living spaces that offer indoor-outdoor living and increased comfort while still being energy efficient, providing more value to homebuyers looking for modern, innovative homes.
