Concept

Three volumes,
shaped to the land

Three independent volumes, shaped to follow the natural contours of the site, step down the landscape to create a seamless connection with their surroundings. The main living pavilion is defined by a single monopitch roof that forms a bold architectural gesture, wrapping down the entry elevation and mirroring the topography. Skylights introduce rhythm and moments of drama, while extensive glazing blurs the line between inside and out.

The additional 2-bedroom guest accommodation echoes the architectural language of the main volume, while the garage is positioned as a more subdued element. A connecting canopy and deck unify the composition, creating a continuous flow between architecture and landscape.
