A ‘tree – house’ hideaway designed for a couple, on a steep hillside facing Lion Rock. The brief stipulated an apartment scaled dwelling in the bush, a contemporary bach, with restrained dimensions dictated by utility. The dark shell blends deliberately into the trees and contrasts with the glow of interior spaces.

The challenging site required a winch and trolley to transport construction materials.
