HABITUS LIVING “Timeless Lines Framing the Landscape”

Featuring Coorabell Springs

Words by Timothy Alouani-Roby // Photography by Andy Macpherson

“A Palm Springs-inspired jewel set amidst nature in the Byron Bay Hinterland, Coorabell Springs uses a simple palette of materials to create an elegant interplay between inside and outside.

In the best tradition of modernism, the central themes of Coorabell Springs are eminently legible. A handful of key features of this new house stand out straight away – the clean, minimalist lines that are all the more effective for their scale and strong geometry; a restrained selection of timbers and concrete; fluidity between indoors and outdoors; and, perhaps most strikingly, the connection to nature.

Simplicity – in the most complimentary sense – is the quality that carries all the way through from the clients’ brief to the finished object. “Their brief was simple: to provide a contemporary and timeless four-bedroom home which champions the landscape, one that is as equally well suited to entertaining as their day-to-day rituals,” says Ed Davis, principal at Davis Architects. Achieving this kind of simplicity in a way that is timeless yet contemporary is of course anything but simple.’
