Known as Solis, the Hamilton Island house was designed by Renato D’Ettorre Architects. Solis was created from concrete, stone, block work and glass resulting in a succession of dramatic volumes incorporating aerial living spaces and private roofed outdoor zones.
The residence is an open living and environmentally integrated home on Hamilton Island, built to withstand the destructive forces of tropical cyclones. Swimming pools, reflection ponds and strategically positioned trickling waterfalls are laid out both indoors and outdoors. Cut into the hill, an open living platform is separated by another reflection pond, while floating above the sea and further living spaces below.
