Sabi Design

Sabi Design is a design practice based in the Northern Territory, working on homes suited to the tropical climate of the Top End.

On Lunchbox, Melaleuca House near Darwin is a tropical home designed for outdoor living. Three long, tent-like pavilions with dramatic gabled roofs separate the living areas, bedrooms and a private guest retreat, linked by outdoor walkways that give each zone privacy and encourage the family outside as they move through the house. Raked ceilings, deep shade and cross-ventilation help keep the pavilions comfortable year-round.
