Sold on March 17 for an undisclosed sum, as stated on the listing, the two-bedroom, two-bathroom home at 1/57 Mill Road in Lobethal, South Australia, defies gravity with its unusual design.

Called Tree Pavilions, the property consists of two sleek and contemporary pavilions that are perpendicular to one another and suspended above the ground.

Designed by Swanbury Penglase Architects and built by Thorne Constructions in 2011, the unique abode is an urban masterpiece with its choice of building materials.

As stated on the listing, the pavilions are made of rammed earth, steel and glass for a “connection to nature while providing the utmost contemporary luxury”.

Incredible listing photos reveal an upper pavilion that’s dedicated to the living zone and a lower pavilion that caters towards sleeping and guest accommodation.

The pavilions are connected by a series of carefully-placed beams.

The interiors are worthy of a glossy magazine spread with Tasmanian Oak timber floors that complement the rammed earth walls, glossy white kitchen cabinetry and statement pendant lights.

There is also a focus on indoor and outdoor flow with a hardwood deck that offers idyllic farmland views.

Lobethal is a town in the Adelaide Hills region of South Australia and is a 45-minute drive to Adelaide’s CBD.

There aren’t enough sales over the past 12 months for Domain to obtain a median house price for the suburb.
