A family from New South Wales retreating to southern Tasmania engaged us to design their home on a site with water views to the south and mountain views to the north.

The brief was for a building that was to appear like a natural extension of the landscape with a sense of solidity and stability.

We designed a home of two offset forms on two levels, focussing on views and solar orientation with a direct connection to the exterior on both levels.
A desire to simplify the material palette allowed the form and details to speak for themselves. Unfussy in many ways, but striking and bold in approach and finish.
