The project
Alexandra Buchanan Architecture designed Bunratty on a sloping site in The Gap. The house sits back from the street, approached by a winding driveway. Its roof forms follow the hillside and its elevated living spaces look towards the Brisbane skyline.
Two halves of the building form a saddle across the landscape. A textured material palette and connections to the surrounding garden support the home's use for family life and entertaining. The project was completed in 2022.
