Relative Seclusion

When Jeanette Smail held the housewarming for her new home by Graeme Cunningham, her friends applauded him. He’d achieved just what she wanted – a house that embraced the views and drew the sun’s warmth into an open-plan living area.

The house sits at the top of the 1000square-meter section Smail and her late husband bought in 1972 for several thousand dollars. Below is the family home where they raised their two daughters, and where one daughter now lives with her two children.

Avoiding the expense of subdividing, the 120-square-meter abode is designed as a second dwelling on the site. The two-story home has everything Smail needs on the top floor, with a guest room, bathroom, and laundry downstairs.
