Designed for a writer and her Husband, the boathouse sits perched on the banks of the River Derwent in Southern Tasmania. It is a small (ancillary) dwelling, dovetailed into the lush garden of their midcentury Myrtle-clad family home. It celebrates the experience of living on the water’s edge, offering sanctuary and protection from the wild weather that blows in from the sea.
Designed for a young couple escaping from the hustle and bustle of life in Melbourne, this modest house frames views of the surrounding forested hills. Living spaces open onto a sheltered terrace that catches the northern sun throughout the day.
Tucked away in a clearing surrounded by 99 acres of forest, this off-grid tiny cabin is an escape from the high stress of our client’s busy work life. Born in Taiwan, she spent her childhood in traditional Japanese houses (built during occupation).
