Hideaway Home.

The use of natural materials in the home was always going to be important, with it being located in such a sensitive environmental area. That there was a desire to allow the building to blend seamlessly with its context only added to that need.

The result is a building that blurs the transitional space from inside to outside, despite the forms being quite regular, and the materials used internally compliment the natural textures and colours of the surrounding landscape.

At various points in the house, views to the outside are emphasised, and occupants are kept aware of exactly where they are and how the building relates to the ‘edge’ between heavily forested land, via the rough ‘link land’ to the coast beyond.
