History
Robert Riddel designed Cabbagepalm House. The aesthetic drew inspiration from Villa Malaparte on the Isle of Capri, Italy.
Architecture
Cabbagepalm House presents a modernist design. A stepped terrace links living areas to the garden. An indoor swimming pool is integrated. The boathouse completes the structure. Interior surfaces include blackbutt veneer. Translucent Ampelite forms window elements.
Setting
The house occupies an oceanfront property in Redcliffe, Brisbane, Australia. It sits on a 916 sqm block. Views extend to the beach and water. A public walkway separates the structure from the sand. Main living areas are lifted, addressing privacy. Here, the ocean light reflects across the elevated spaces.
