The Hill Plains House

A rectilinear building plan considers the integration of object and landscape. A central service core forms an axial nature within the plan. The centrally located living room provides a protected outdoor alternative. Oversized blackbutt cladding incorporates framed views and cradles the living/services core and sleeping zones at each end of the house. A rugged exterior of natural materials includes steel, concrete, recycled timber and concrete masonry. A dark interior draws the eye to the external vista, reinforcing the connection with site.
