Exceptional settings inspire innovative homes, as is the case for this ultra-modern treehouse perched just 8kms from Brisbane’s CBD. Appearing as though it has floated down to land carefully among mature bushland, the architect’s design captures the most extraordinary sweeping views from the Glass House Mountains to Brisbane Airport, and across the bay to the sands of Moreton Island.

Constructed to a commercial-grade standard, this easy living steel and glass contemporary retreat is cleverly configured to include a lower-level self-contained apartment. A soaring open-plan living and dining level sprawls out to a large deck from which sugar gliders, bush stone-curlews, wallabies and even a lace monitor are regularly spotted. It’s hard to fathom this hidden and unexpected gem’s proximity to the city.

Less than 20 minutes to the airport and major links to the Gold and Sunshine Coasts, as well as a short drive to popular Blackwood Street cafes and shops, this private family paradise offers but is not limited to:
