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.

Barrier walls flank the side boundaries of the home providing privacy, as the occupants focus is drawn towards the expansive views of the city and River Derwent below.
