Ormond House is a spacious family home set into a rural hillside, designed to make the most of its wide-reaching views while supporting the needs of a busy family of five. The two-level layout separates private and shared spaces, with bedrooms and an office upstairs and open-plan living, dining and kitchen spaces centred around family life below.

The house responds closely to its hillside setting, with the garage tucked beneath a generous covered deck that connects the home with its outdoor spaces. Carefully considered shading, including sliding shutters to the north and angled louvres to the west, allows the house to make the most of winter sun while limiting summer overheating.

Energy efficiency is central to the design, with the house developed to target Passive House certification while creating a comfortable and practical family home.
