Wamuran ResidenceAn ideal acreage block, giving plenty of scope toposition the house to the north and good protectionfrom afternoon sun, due to dense bush-land on thewestern boundary. This made central positioning ofthe large Summer Room and barbecue area the firstpriority, giving separation between the master bedroomand the secondary guest wing. The main living area,Summer Room and study are all positioned so thatviews are picked up to both sides of the property andair flow is possible even on the calmest of days. Theraking ceiling rising over the entertaining area allowsviews to the tree tops and brings in winter sun to warmthe entire house. Many afternoons are enjoyed out inthe Summer Room feeding the resident kookaburras. 3511
