Vespa — A Courtyard Retreat Crafted for Gold Coast’s Climate
Vespa anchors a young family’s house on the Gold Coast, Australia, by Habitat Studio Architects. The subtropical retreat pairs a monolithic western facade with a hovering roof, deep overhangs, and lush planting that draw breezes and temper glare. Inside and out, rooms pivot around a generous courtyard, balancing outward living with refuge, while concrete, timber, and black detailing keep the palette grounded in durability and calm.
