The split level offers spatial variety and allow views from the living areas over the lower bedroom pavilion, which is deliberately hunkered into the landscape, and detailed as a modest timber box in contrast to the higher gabled forms. Internally a spine of joinery occupies the length of the living pavilion, articulated to give definition to individual spaces.

The project is a response to a tricky, sloping corner site beneath the Remarkables mountain range.
Designed to cater for the needs of a growing family, within a constrained footprint, the house is envisaged as a series of inter-connecting pavilions following the contours of the site. Glazed links are held between strong, simple, anchoring gable forms.
Connection to the landscape is emphasised through strategically framed long views and a variety of defined outdoor courtyard and garden spaces.
The layout takes advantage of the sun’s path throughout the day, with places to enjoy different moments, whether a morning coffee, space to work or time to relax in the evening.
