Eddie Oribin is an architect who dared to be different. As an architect he knew no boundaries and his architectural style has lasting recognition and respect with modern day architects. Many of his early designs were influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright, the American ‘godfather’ of modern architecture. His first family home was built in Mullins Street Whitfield in 1958. This home is a timeless masterpiece to exhibit his style, with strong horizontal lines, extensive use of timber and intricate detailing. Now offered for sale, the current owners carefully studied his style before new extensions were planned. The extension is a thoughtful reflection of ‘Oribins’ concepts and blend easily with the original home. With about 200 m2 of living space, it nestles on a large 1,922 m2 site, with a canopy of established tropical trees and landscaping. A modern kitchen with European appliances serves the stunning living and dining area in the original wing, complemented by a newly renovated bathroom, study and additional bedrooms. The new wing, designed by local firm ‘Edge Architecture’, houses three bedrooms and a stunning bathroom with Italian glass mosaic tiles. The bedrooms are linked to the original building by a large air -conditioned family room that has access to the upper garden with in ground pool. Wide timber steps lead to the lower garden and double as a casual seating area overlooking a private tropical paradise. For those who respect a grand master of architecture, this home is a historical masterpiece of which to be proud. The functionality of the house is designed purely for the tropics. High ceilings, open plan spaces and an easy flowing design capture the essence of Far North Queensland in the heart of Whitfield.
