An inspired collaboration between Shaun Lockyer Architects, Black Developments and Boss Gardenscapes, this five-year-old home showcases joinery and cladding with the warmth of French oak and New Guinea rosewood.

There are sweeping Brisbane Water views from almost every window and four en-suite bedrooms with balcony access.
