Made by hand.
Shaped by nature.
A personal expression of craftsmanship, set in a landscape that asks very little of you.
Five years.
One extraordinary home.
Corymbia was hand-built by Kim Torma, one of the founding brothers of Axolotl, over five years. The adobe mud-bricks were sourced from the property itself, grounding the house in the land it stands on.
Nestled into rocks at the high end of a 100-acre property, the house is private and serene. Meticulous carpentry and an eclectic collection of artwork bring warmth and character to the natural materials.
Floor-to-ceiling glass draws the landscape into every room. Cypress pine and turpentine timbers were chosen for their termite-resistant qualities. Decks extend the living space beneath spreading gum trees.
Material imagination,
made personal.
Nickel-coated kitchen cupboards, doors, sculptures and a bronze table are finished with Axolotl Metals. Anomaly furniture complements the handcrafted interior, while artworks give each space its own point of view.

The mud-brick construction provides thermal mass, helping the house stay cool in summer and retain warmth in winter. Windows and eaves are positioned to temper the summer sun and admit winter light deep into the house.
As the temperature drops, the brick floor releases stored warmth. An open fireplace adds comfort, with an external vent feeding the fire. Window placement allows cross ventilation as the breeze changes.
Solar power and a home-made solar hot-water panel reflect the same practical, considered approach to living with the environment.
