Vista House (Wicklow Hills)
By RobertsonCollectif
Wicklow Hills, situated above Kangaroo Valley, NSW, was designed and constructed to extend and improve an existing rural retreat for a young Sydney based family: A new larger space to connect with the Australian bush and each other away from city life.
The new building was conceived to provide spaces that would facilitate the connection with the surrounding landscape while offering shelter from harsh mountain conditions.
Material selections provide a robust external skin to comply with the BAL 40 bushfire rating. The palette carries through to the interior to further evoke a sense of refuge.
Overall, the contemporary rural design offers a timeless contribution to the surroundings and to sit firmly within the landscape.
The building offers a haven for the client’s family and serves to offer an example of well-designed reuse project, suitably built and enduring for the local conditions and constraints, appropriate to site and setting.

About the
Professional
I’m based in Berry, South Coast of NSW Australia. I’m a registered Architect and have worked extensively on residential, commercial and industrial architectural projects across many landscapes. I believe that architecture is a process of response, to both person and place. It is this process that pushes me to continue to explore various design solutions for each client and project. It was capturing the results of these journeys that has provided the catalyst for my other passion, photography.
Architecture can be, at times, a complex environment, but I find photography takes me to the opposite side, slowing the moment down, allowing one to stop and appreciate, compose and capture the moment.
With architecture I aim to respond to client’s individual brief to develop high quality buildable design outcomes.
Please contact me directly to purchase any prints for your home, to discuss any architectural projects or just simply have a chat about an idea…
Enjoy…
