Set in the Gold Coast hinterland, Tally Springs reimagines the traditional Australian shed as a contemporary rural home. Designed by Shed House Australia, the structure centres around a striking 8.8-metre double-height void under a 45-degree gabled roof – a bold gesture that floods the home with light while celebrating volume and form.

Energy efficiency was a key priority, with double glazing specified throughout to ensure year round comfort in the region’s variable climate. Vantage systems delivered high-performance solutions without compromising on aesthetics, while Elevate commercial frames enabled the precise execution of the feature gable windows. Carefully aligned with the internal ceiling pitch, this detail demanded a high level of technical accuracy and played a defining role in the overall design.
The Series 616 MAGNUM™ Awning and fixed windows support passive ventilation and natural light flow, reinforcing both thermal performance and the home’s crisp geometry. For wider openings, the Series 618 MAGNUM™ Sliding Doors create seamless transitions to the outdoors while offering durability and bold lines.
Rounding out the glazing suite, the studio’s gable window features the Series 400 Single Glazed CentreGLAZE™ system, providing a clean, uncomplicated finish. Across the rest of the home, the Series 624 Double Glazed CentreGLAZE™ system takes the lead, chosen for its versatility and slim, unobtrusive framing. Together, they reinforce the home’s architectural clarity and give the whole space a cohesive, refined look. Paired with Series 549 Entry Doors, the glazing package supports both function and form.
Tally Springs strikes a confident balance between practical family living and bold, climate-aware design – a fresh take on the modern Australian homestead.
