Twizel Bach: A holiday house harmonizing with the rural landscape, featuring stained timber gable forms, a sheltered internal courtyard, and warm birch ply interiors, recognized with multiple awards for its design excellence.
This holiday house responds to the surrounding rural landscape with strong characteristic stained timber gable forms. The arrangement of buildings helps create a sheltered internal courtyard that comprehensively enables seamless circulation and line of sight. Internally the birch ply adds a sense of warmth as well as a natural aesthetic.
