Island Bay Hill House
About
A new house for a couple and their dogs positioned on a precipitous site between an existing house to the East and a vertical cliff to the West.
The challenge of this project was to design a compact simple house on the steep slope without undermining the house above, while also providing privacy, and flat outdoor living space for the clients and their two dogs.
The design solution is a simple rectangular mono pitched form made from a light timber structure to avoid site excavation and maintain site stability. A sheltered deck is carved centrally out of the form between the bedroom and living zones, whilst the living opens out to the Northern valley views and sun.
