t’s not too often you sense you’re living in the country when in fact you’re living in the city. It’s even more rare to find a 4240-square-metre block – more than an acre, in the old measurement – less than seven kilometres from the city centre.

The Nest, designed by leading Brisbane architect Shaun Lockyer, is one such uncommon property in the leafy inner suburb of Bardon.

But it’s not simply that it’s an oversized block that leads you to think you could be out of town.

It’s the way Lockyer has cleverly thought out

the design that allows you to imagine you’re living on acreage, that rural land sought by city folk chasing a tree change.

For a start, Lockyer purposefully positions the five-bedroom house to one side of the property, so as not to overwhelm the block.

Greenery screens the boundary to produce a sense of privacy and sanctuary.

More importantly, hundreds of thousands of dollars were spent on earthworks to level the block. This has produced more than 1500 square metres of flat, open lawn, designed to

mimic the sprawling green field common to true acreage properties. “The clients wanted a sense of air, light and space,” Lockyer says.

The house plays a crucial role as well. Lockyer models the design on 1950s-60s modernism, similar to residences you find in California’s Palm Springs. “[My design] has been informed by a prairie style of architecture, where houses sit on big blocks of land,” he says.

Apart from a dramatic three-storey elevation on approach, the house works mostly as a single long, open pavilion sitting under deep eaves –

defining features of modernist design – which looks onto the sweeping manicured lawn. The spaces breathe.

There are interplays of solid and light elements both vertically and horizontally. Lockyer uses a limited palette of authentic materials: sandblasted concrete and zinc cladding; timber, including an impressive spotted gum ceiling; and large spans of glass in the main living areas, which bring the outside in and inside out. “The house and landscape engage,” he says.

At the same time, Lockyer recognises this isn’t acreage. He positions the main bedroom and terrace to capture city views, a reminder you’re a handful of kilometres from town. He also doesn’t let spaces sprawl, as you may on a much larger block, creating discrete zones able to interact with each other.
