A LETTER FROM THE OWNER I wanted to thank you personally for your interest in “Balaam.” I welcome you into my home and hope that you can appreciated that this ‘house’ is the realisation of a long-term dream I have had for my family and I. If you have any questions in your mind as to whether this might be the right property for you, hopefully this note will answer them and help you make a good decision. Living on the river in a home that offers everything imaginable for a modern family, with an abundance of space and comfort has been an amazing experience
for us. It has been an absolute privilege to call ‘Balaam’ home and it is not an easy decision to commit to selling a property that you truly love. However, collectively with my family we have decided to move to pursue the ‘green change’ and are designing a ‘country estate’ with Shaun Lockyer, having already bought a property in the outer suburbs. This home was designed by accomplished architect Shaun Lockyer and was built to the highest of standards to maximize the location, river frontage and city

views. It has suited us perfectly and I have been unable to fault it in any way over the past seven years we have lived here. It is a home that is a genuine pleasure to return to everyday. I welcome all your interest and should you want to buy my home, please do not hesitate in contacting the agent. If you are lucky enough to be the new owner of this home, I wish you all the best and hope it brings as much pleasure and good fortune into your lives as it has ours. DON O’RORKE

PROJECT OVERVIEW WITH ARCHITECT
SHAUN LOCKYER

Jen Lambkin, Harriet Duetz, Michael Ford, Carmen Saide and Neva Wethereld. The Balaam House is the built realisation of an extraordinary brief by a very ambitious client on a unique piece of riverfront land. This property offers an enviable lifestyle opportunity that is unlikely to be repeated in the Brisbane real-estate market, boasting over 1000m2 of living area on 1600m2 of land, along 48m of absolute river frontage. The design of the house is a testament to what is

possible when there is a true collaboration between the client, architect and builder, built to the very highest of standards which have been recognised by both architecture and construction awards along with unprecedented national and international media coverage. Balaam was designed by prominent Architect, Shaun Lockyer* in 2004/05 and built by Hutchinson Builders in 2005/06. The house design is an ode to modernist ideology in its use of material and form. The material palette is minimal but of the very highest of standards, combining natural textures to ensure a timeless and robust aesthetic that has already endured through changes in architectural fashion. Jarrah timber is offset against zinc, white off-form concrete, steel and glass to create a rich and warm feel throughout the house, both inside and out. The house has been architecturally detailed to a level rarely achieved in contemporary design. This attention to detail has been carried through to every piece of
built in furniture, tiling pattern, light fittings and even bespoke door handles. The experience of entry takes the visitor through a timber clad “arbour” under a cantilevered, glass fronted swimming pool, through a bespoke jarrah front door into the lobby which also serves as an art gallery. An infinity edge water feature and internal courtyard light-well welcomes and surprises the visitor once in this lobby space. Glass floors outside the lift landings accentuate the memorable and dramatic sense of arrival through the house on the upper living floors. The house was conceived as a large family house comprising every space imaginable. 8 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, numerous living areas, both inside and out offer resort style sub-tropical living across 3 expansive levels. Spaces are zoned to accommodate young and older children, with play areas dedicated to both groups to afford privacy and acoustic separation irrespective of

needs. A wine cellar, gym, study spaces, parent’s retreats, 6 outdoor terraces, 2 gardens, access to 2 swimming pools, a play area, an architecturally designed cubby house and animal enclosure complete what, can only be described as, a one-off schedule of accommodation. A lift, security system, ducted air, home automation, automated blinds and screens, water tanks, heated pool, a fire pit and solar hot water completes the level of finish and inclusion. The house was also designed with a “thermal chimney,” a futuristic but simple sustainability initiative that encourages the flow of natural ventilation throughout the house. To this end, the house has also been designed to maximise north sun while addressing the southern, panoramic city and river views. The living spaces have been designed in such a way as to ensure maximum privacy to the water and views.

MEDIA COVERAGE BALAAM HAS RECEIVED EXTENSIVE CRITICAL ACCLAIM FROM AUSTRALIAN AND INTERNATIONAL ARCHITECTURAL MAGAZINES. Solid, playful zinc walled elements juxtapose the light weathering timber 'follies' that serve different programmatic needs within the house. The clearly extroverted pool conspicuously cantilevered over the entry is the centre piece for life, play and drama within the house. — BEST AUSTRALIAN ARCHITECTURE Balaam may be magnificently built and perfectly located but it's the intrinsic sustainability initiatives that make it an impressive residence. — PINNACLE MAGAZINE
The house uses intelligent design to achieve climatic performance before relying on technological devices that can distract designers from getting the basics right. The architect saw this as an opportunity to illustrate that sustainability does not have a 'look' and that it is meant to be inherent in the design, not something added once the design is complete. — HABITAT MAGAZINE The interface between materials is another deliberate attitude manifest in the design. The meeting point of different materials is almost always off-set or expressed
BALAAM4007.COM.AU
in a way obviously reflecting change of purpose. The change of material is a celebrated action at every turn and this slightly "baroque" attitude toward embellishment, while possibly idiosyncratic in the modernist idiom, is considerate and reflective of the "Scarpa" or "Alto-esk" expression of detail. — EAST MEETS WEST Arkhefield's beautifully articulated family home in a busy residential area of Brisbane is literally stacked in all the right places. — BLUEPRINT ASIA

After the closing date, all offers will be individually presented to the owner on their own merits and the seller will choose the tender that is most favourable – depending on the price and term.

You will be asked to fill in a sale and purchase agreement and submit it before the close of the tender.
