Design highlights

  • Living room under a timber ceiling, with art and a long sofa

    Iconic Porous Roof. A distinctive screen roof defines the architectural form, creating a strong visual identity while allowing light and air to permeate the spaces beneath.

  • Living room opening through tall steel doors to the trees

    Elevated Living. Raising the main living spaces creates elevated views towards the forest canopy, turning the surrounding landscape into an extension of the home.

  • The living room seen from above in afternoon light

    Endless Forest. Carefully framed views create the illusion of an uninterrupted layer of trees, making the natural setting feel expansive beyond the boundaries of the site.

  • BIG SEE Architecture Award
