Tamar Valley, 2011
Located on a gently sloping, rural site with extensive views of the Tamar River, Tasmania, this private residence is designed around the client’s family life. The plan is orientated with views to the South and East, whilst capturing light and warmth from the Sun to the North. The budget was modest and it was essential that the plan made use of every opportunity for space. The ground floor spaces ‘unfold’ on warmer days, completely inverting the relationship of the internal spaces with the external environment. Totally ‘off grid’ and relying on an array of solar collectors for hot water, heating and power, this project aims to marry self sufficiency with contemporary living.

Trial Bay, 2009
This sloping bush site, set just into the treeline has extensive views to the East across the Dentrecastauex Channel to the rising sun and Bruny Island, Southern Tasmania. The private residence is designed around the client’s family life. The plan is orientated with North-South, whilst making use of the light and warmth from the Sun to the North. The budget was modest and it was essential that the plan made use of every opportunity for space. The single level ground floor platform in the trees opens out onto the expansive deck on warmer days, completely inverting the relationship of the internal spaces with the external environment.
