MOUNTAIN RETREAT HOUSE - COUNTRY NSW

PERCHED AT THE VERY EDGE OF A DRAMATIC CLIFF, THE HOUSE COMMANDS SWEEPING, UNINTERRUPTED  VIEWS.

FROM THIS ELEVATED VANTAGE POINT, THE LANDSCAPE UNFOLDS IN STRIKING LAYERS OF SEA, SKY, AND DISTANT COASTLINE.

​

PROTECTING THE HOUSE IS A SET OF STRONG, MINIMALIST WALLS THAT FORM A PERFECT SQUARE. A DISTINCT ARCHITECTURAL ENVELOPE THAT OFFERS BOTH PRESENCE AND PROTECTION. THIS GEOMETRIC SHELL CREATES A QUIET INNER WORLD, A PLACE WHERE THE WIND SOFTENS, THE LIGHT LINGERS, AND DAILY LIFE FEELS CONTAINED.

​

WITHIN THIS PROTECTIVE FRAME, THE HOUSE AND COURTYARD ARE ELEGANTLY INSERTED, AS IF THEY HAVE BEEN CAREFULLY SET INTO A SCULPTED JEWEL BOX. THE COURTYARD BECOMES THE HEART OF THE DESIGN. A PEACEFUL, OPEN-AIR ROOM WHERE NATURE CAN THRIVE WHILE REMAINING SHELTERED BY THE EMBRACING WALLS.

​

INSIDE, EXPANSIVE GLAZING AND CLEAN LINES DRAW THE EYE OUTWARD, CREATING A STRIKING DIALOGUE BETWEEN THE COURTYARD’S INTIMATE CALM AND THE GRAND, EVER-CHANGING LANDSCAPE VIEWS BEYOND THE WALLS.
