Green Hill House is conceived as a restrained, enduring form that responds directly to the natural topography of its site. Organised through a series of stepped floor plates that gently define distinct family zones, the home is carved by a generous central courtyard, allowing daylight to reach deep into the plan.

This central open space is shaped in response to the mature gum trees dispersed across the site, enabling the architecture to sit within — rather than over — the existing landscape. A softly curved roofline further mediates this relationship, bending around the established trees and rising and falling in concert with the slope of the land.

As the site descends from rear to street, the house progressively anchors itself into the terrain. Green Hill House is articulated through a robust material palette arranged in clear, legible volumes, tempering the rugged qualities of the surrounding environment while aligning with them through muted greys and warm, earthen tones. Concrete masonry walls lend solidity and definition, establishing the building’s perimeter and allowing the roof form to extend lightly above. Conceived as an extension of the internal living spaces, the courtyard remains constantly present through expansive glazing, reinforcing visual continuity and connection throughout the home.
