A Modern House in Australia With A Central Courtyard

View Photo Gallery

The Eaglemont House is a custom designed residence, by InForm, with a picturesque facade thanks to multiple single-pitch roof forms. Located in Eaglemont, Victoria, Australia, the house wraps around a central courtyard that offers privacy to its swimming pool.

The pitched roof forms slant in opposite directions as a way to control how much light enters the house.

The interior opens up to the courtyard via large panels of windows, especially the dining area which has double-height ceilings.

Love how the architectural detailing is the focal point. Keeping the long hallway for the full wall of windows is a beautiful feature for all the natural lighting!
