Sometimes the beauty of a project is not purely about the building, but equally about its surrounds. This once vacant lot on the hill of Cobbitty with sweeping views of agricultural crops and distant mountain tops, becomes the underlying basis of the projects core. It asked for an architecture that wouldn’t impede, but rather firm in its character to allow for framed views to enhance the beauty of what already existed. The home draws you deep into the experience of place with a refreshing inventiveness of robust materials, simplistic framing, and lightness of whole hearted Australian pavilion architecture.
