Project description:


The house sits firmly along a winding ridgeline on the outskirts of the small township of Fish Creek and surrounds itself in a highly textured brickwork wall which wraps the three nested, black stained timber pavilions of the house like a rough and coarse blanket and offers them shelter while they sit upon the wall edge and gaze out upon the undulating coastline of Wilsons Promontory. The three pavilions are pulled out from each other and from the northern edge of the rough brick wall to allow sunlight to slide deep into a series of sheltered and planted courtyards that offer immediate garden and timber deck relationships to the interior spaces. These interiors provide a warm and robust palette of timber-lined walls, doors and joinery with black-pigmented concrete floors and black form-ply ceilings. Custom timber door pulls, towel rails and hooks all add detail and textural richness to the home.
