Positioned on the southern side of the Kina Peninsula, with views towards Mt Arthur and the Kina Estuary, the vision for this project was to create a home that connects strongly with the surrounding coastal and rural landscape.
The low-slung form of the home steps down over the gentle contours of the site, to keep a low profile, with the strong vertical of the precast concrete chimney punctuating the stepped and floating forms.
The house is divided into two wings to create sheltered courtyards to the east and west, protecting against the prevailing winds and allowing for northern light to penetrate into the living spaces.
A night lounge is tucked off to the side of the living area, which provides a snug and cosy retreat from the highly glazed, pavilion-like main space.
