This stylish, modern 3 bedroom/3.5 bathroom house will have you feeling relaxed and at home right away. Featuring an open floor plan, it offers lots of space while still maintaining a sense of comfort and functionality. From the floor to ceiling windows, to a fully-equipped stainless kitchen, to the snug movie room, every element of the residence has been carefully selected to ensure guests enjoy a delightful and tranquil stay.
In 2012, Snowbird won the Southern Architecture Award `The clever massing of the building results in an optimal orientation towards the street, the arc of the sun and the sumptuous views on offer. A well-articulated stair element deftly stitches together the various levels of the house, and a modest material palette, relieved with splashes of vibrant colour, communicates the primary purpose of the house as a holiday residence.`
