Our clients site in Tasmania is on the doorstep of the Derby Forest Reserve. A former tin mining town, its fresh air is now enjoyed by locals and fanatic mountain bike riders.

Our design for a 3 bed home, utilises the sites slope to stagger pavilions, and allow North light into each part of the home.⁠ Both vistas and access to light drove the form and articulation of the house. Protection form the elements was key to ensuring this home was enjoyable

It's corrugated cladding is a nod to the towns former industry, and the stacked timber decking mimics the timber drying stacks dotted all over Tasmania. ⁠

We love rural and coastal houses. If you’ve got ideas, we’re keen to hear them.
