The Elysium project is a residential development for the last sub-division within the highly desired Noosa Heads postcode. The large site consisting of 189 house allotments, communal leisure facilities, parkland and nature reserves is located inland from the Noosa coastline adjacent to Lake Weyba. The undulating, picturesque landscape of the site retains vast pockets of existing vegetation and is afforded distant views to the Sunshine Coast hinterland.
This house enjoys a truly wonderful site, which slopes gently from the street on the south toward a small park and open space to the north. The softly sweeping curved walls and forms which identify this house are an intuitive response to achieve both the north-east aspect and views to the northern parkland areas.
The external textured wall finishes fold back inside the dwelling along walls and ceilings. Carefully detailed edges create the transition to smooth internal walls. Drawing the external garden and pool spaces into the building has amplified the sense of subtropical luxury.
