Hill Top Retreat banner

This Balinese inspired design features a sheltering roof and extensive use of timbers to create a relaxing environment for a large family house.

The central hallway splits the single-storey house, with a bedroom wing to the east and a living room wing to the west.

The house faces north, opening out towards terraced external areas, and a sheltered external dining and cooking area.

Materials used are stone, with timber roof soffits and details.
