Tucked away on a back section amongst a beautiful established orchard, this home provides a secluded winter retreat.

Located in a flood zone, and founded on challenging ground, the design responded to a set of fundamentals including; material honesty, integrity of design, quality of light, depth of window sill, simplicity and smart use of space.

This home is robust in nature, being able to be locked up & left for periods, while allowing a warm, comfortable & healthy environment during the times of occupation. Constructed using solid CLT construction, the structure acts as both the visual interior surfaces & primary structure.

The plan is divided by a covered breezeway, acting to connect & separate out the living space from the two bedrooms and private facilities, while allowing a sense of protection & connection with the surrounding environment.

Area: 85m²  |  Type: Residential, New Build
