Sorrento House is a five-bedroom family home located on a sloping block that falls away from the street towards the garage and then quickly rises again towards the rear.

The house has been carefully composed around a raised north facing courtyard containing outdoor living and an elevated pool.

The courtyard serves as a focal point to all the spaces on this level as well as providing light and ventilation throughout the day.

Large sliding doors on both sides of the kitchen, meals and living space, provide both an outlook to the central courtyard and access to a front balcony where once can informally greet guests or take in the evening sunsets.
