Mapleton House

AM Build x IonClad

Perched on the ridge of Blackall Range, Mapleton House responds naturally to its suburban-rural setting. The twin buildings are set back to frame views of the nearby Mt. Ninderry and Mt. Coolum. Designed to blend with the land, the house emphasises a connection to the existing terrain. Its angled form aligns with mountain views, while a multi-level interior creates a dynamic spatial experience.

Connection to nature

Our brief was to highlight both the materiality and striking form of the home, with a strong emphasis on its relationship to the surrounding landscape. Movement through the use of doors and privacy screens helped enhance this connection while also highlighting the intimate, distinct spaces within the home.
