A new house designed in an idylic setting surrounded by native forest with a distant sea view. The topography of the site lent itself to a split-level arrangement, leading to intriguing interconnecting spaces. Random width and depth dark stained vertical weatherboards, plus white panels on the exterior. A cool palatte of White Ash, plywood, black steel, raw concrete + white surfaces on the interior.
