From the outside, this Brunswick home reads as a dark, composed silhouette, black timber cladding and crisp geometry holding their ground against the suburb’s easy grit and creative pulse. But step through the front door and the house shifts register entirely: a warm timber “box” gathers you in, the air softens, and a long, gentle reveal begins, light, water, greenery, then brick, timber and stone unfolding like a sequence of rooms in a Kyoto ryokan.
