Designer digs

I first came across the work of building designer Dion Gadd when it was featured in Queensland Homes magazine a few years ago. Since then, it seems his work has gone from strength to strength, and with a recent win for the 2010 HIA-CSR Queensland Home of the Year, it looks like the sky's the limit. This latest home in Settler's Cove, Noosa, is a fabulous example of how to work with a sloping block, not against it - and the results speak for themselves.










  



 


  



I really like this take on the modern Queenslander. Many traditional elements are still featured; weatherboards, timber floors, and louvre windows, but it's all wrapped up in a contemporary, modern package. Very nice indeed. If you'd like to see more, head on over and visit the website here, or Settler's Cove.

  1. A beautifully controlled landscape. Most sloping lots feel like bad Feng Shui...always making you feel a little off kilter. This one keeps the balance....and that pool is spectacular.

  3. Love the myriad roof lines that have been used. It really accentuates the sloping block, as you say.
