Set high amongst bush land, this contemporary Australian home represents a poignant homecoming for the family that will inhabit it. Reimagining the rural shed, this home gives new life and refinement to the Australian vernacular, while also sitting safely and sustainably in the unforgiving Australian landscape. The internal layout and plan is charmingly simple yet highly considered; consisting of a series of pavilions, each with a designated function, that steps with the sloping topography. The home is wrapped in an outer and inner skin, one for privacy and protection, and the latter to provide opportunity for the active modulation of light and air. Through each space, the built form frames a unique perspective of the immensity of the environment around you, becoming the perfect vessel for a forever base in the bush.
