The Owners had purchased a c.1920s cottage in disrepair with the view of creating a weekender for themselves and grown children. The completed house has a wonderful eclectic feel, where reclaimed and industrial furniture sits comfortably throughout the original cottage and within the contemporary addition.
The house has a lot of character, and the Australian bush setting is appreciated from all aspects of the house. The plan zones the guest bedrooms and sitting room in the original cottage, while three pitched 'pods' step down the sloping site and contain Kitchen, Living and Master Bedroom.
The challenges of this project included linking the old and new, working with the slope of the land, zoning of private and guest accommodation, and maximizing the outlook and natural light despite the south facing site.
Horizon Building Services undertook the construction and worked faithfully and carefully to Bryant Alsop's Plans and Specifications.

Bryant Alsop delivers carefully considered, intelligent, projects for our clients. Each project is personal and unique.
Our work spans residential, education, and commercial sectors, and is underpinned by a belief that architecture should be uplifting, beautiful and honest. We are committed to achieving carefully considered design solutions and are committed to fully delivering the complete project to our clients.
Buildings grow and evolve with time. It is important that a building engages with the landscape, and that the two are viewed in unison. Similarly, much attention is given to interior spaces and as such, we offer a specialised interior design service with the expertise to offer full interior design services.
Bryant Alsop offers a highly-personalised approach, based on developing strong working relationships with our clients. We believe that a collaborative approach is necessary for successful design results that speak both of the client's desires, our architectural ideas and the project context.
Bryant Alsop works closely with our clients to ensure that their needs and desires are at the core of every project.
