For sale by EOI closing Thurs 27th August

Presented to market for the very first time, (-) Glass House by Charles Wright represents a tropical take on the Glass House by Phillip Johnson, trading a home famously open to the world for one open to the elements, yet safe and secure.

The 2013 AIA (Australian Institute of Architects) FNQ House of the Year, this unique residence came about as a collaboration between the original (and current) owners, and renowned architect Charles Wright, with a brief to deliver a home with style, sustainability and its own unique aesthetic within a quiet suburban environment. Echoing the simple lines and minimalism of the original but minus the glass - the combination of steel, polished concrete, blockwork makes a bold statement in modern living.

Sheltered from the street by established gardens and set back to allow for an abundance of nature to contrast the structure, this incredible home is designed around a set of self-contained pods, linked under a single roofline and contrasting between open glass and closed concrete to both invite the outside in, and maintain a clarity of purpose from one space to another.

Take just 3 steps from a bedroom to gardens, reach behind you from the stove to fresh herbs, and go from coffee in the kitchen to a light-filled office pod in seconds. Bringing the outside in? This is next level.

Beyond the headlines though, great thought has gone into the actual livability and sustainability of the home day to day. 3 bedrooms each offer space for a king sized bed, with the master complemented by ensuite and walk-through robe. A central media room provides a sheltered nook for cosy evenings, and the office/library provides a vista of books and boughs that you just can't get enough of.

The kitchen features gas cooking, 900mm oven, dishwasher and more prep space than you could shake a branch at. Storage is plentiful and sustainability is an ethos, not just a slogan - solar panels, battery storage, electric car charging and water storage helping to keep impact visual, not environmental.

Entertaining? From formal seating for 10 through to generous open spaces for larger functions, between pool and temperature controlled wine cellar, no-one is likely to leave disappointed.

A truly one of a kind residence, but within walking distance of cafes and restaurants, and just 10 minutes from the airport and Cairns CBD. They really don't make them like this.

(-) Glass House is offered for sale by Expressions of Interest, closing Thursday 27th August if not sold prior. Inspections are welcome - just contact Tom Quaid at Colliers Cairns.
