We have bought SAOIR as a new home, hence we were not involved in the briefing of it. However, we were incredibly delighted how easy it was to settle into the new house. It was so well thought through, so many uplifting and positive surprises which we would never have expected. We just really love it.
This house has one of the best kitchens we have ever used, bench space is superb and an abundance of storage. The curves are not only look fantastic, they are really functional. There is a very nice and subtle filtered light in all living areas. All rooms are cross ventilated and shaded from the summer sun to avoid overheating and the concrete slab helps to keep the rooms cool in summer It is easy to see how much thought has gone into creating this home to not only make it beautiful, but totally functional in every aspect.
The architects succeeded in truly celebrating subtropical living when designing SAOIR. The R* team seamlessly merged the qualities of the early 1900’s cottage with the demands of contemporary living in a very skilfully executed fusion of architecture and lush subtropical landscaping. We have no hesitation to recommend R* to design for any residential commission, and if we were to do our next home we will certainly talk to them.
