Can a darker interior draw your eye toward the garden? On a steep site in Coburg North, Sonelo Architects transform a modest brick dwelling into a family home where the landscape becomes the brightest and most defining element.
Earthy clays, terrain-coloured cladding and considered detailing anchor the exterior within its suburban setting. The cascading levels create natural moments to pause, gather and look outward across the site.
Inside, dark finishes and tactile materials sharpen the contrast with the garden. Light, shadow and texture work together to form a calm, connected home shaped by its landscape.
