Designed by Alexandra Buchanan Architecture and completed in 2022, Bunratty is a beautiful new family home located in The Gap, a near-city suburb in Brisbane’s west.
The home is set against two hectares of rolling hillside.
Texturally rich, and oriented with panoramic views of the Brisbane skyline, this long-term family home is a contemporary beauty that allows hill rolling, garden playing, and family entertainment.
Tucked out of sight from the street, a meandering driveway opens up to be greeted by dynamic roof forms that follow the line of the hillside.
Two halves of the building create a saddle where elevated living spaces straddle the landscape and take in vast panoramic views.
