After sitting vacant for 50 years, this bush covered site finally got its chance to shine when our clients fell for it. Covered from top to toe in native trees and alive with fauna it's not hard to see why. Together we carefully picked out the spot to complement the trees and the steep slope and formed spaces around a central stair. The result is a beautiful journey down from the canopy to the forest floor. The calm and quietude grow as you descend, matched with opportunities for contemplation in total comfort. The complete home, retreat and a fine place to fill your cup.
