The driving force behind the Boonburrh home is to explore ‘pull apart living’.

Channelling Jeffrey Bawa, the idea of separating areas of our home with pavilions that connect via open air or partially covered walkways seems appropriate for the client needs, the sites topography and the subtropical location.

The clients appreciation for natural materials that weather as a feature over time allowed for a more relaxed atmosphere.
