Sydney based Renato D’ Ettorre Architects have created a slice of heaven on
Picturesque Hamilton Island. A series of connecting pavilions are positioned
to harness views across the Coral Sea, with the material palette allowing the
building to integrate with its surrounding bushlands.
As with Azuris, Solis overlooks the Coral Sea and faces the open waters on
Queensland’ s Hamilton Island. The sculptured concrete, stone and glass
home opens the vast open plan indoor / outdoor living areas to integrate
with the natural landscape, spatially orientated to capture views across
out to the ocean, the residence is wrapped with a swimming pool and
ponds, embracing the serenity of the Great Barrier Reef waterways.
An island holiday home overlooking the Coral Sea has been awarded top
Honours at the Australian Institute of Architects’ 2012 Central Queensland
Regional Architecture Awards.
Pearl Valley 334 is a residential project completed by Cape Town-based Antoni Associates in Cape Town, South Africa. Here is the official press release we were sent by the studio: A young family re-locating to the Western Cape was looking to change from city living to a more relaxed country lifestyle in which to bring up their young family and settled for the exclusive Pearl Valley Golf Estate located near Paarl, just 30 minutes away from Cape Town. The initial architectural footprint for the house was designed by Gauteng based architect, Gardiol Bergenthuin. The owners approached ANTONI ASSOCIATES to create an interior that was modern but with an emphasis on ‘barefoot luxury’ and the use of natural materials.
