Kavillo Studios is a luxury tourism accommodation project located in Mudgee, NSW. This unique retreat was owner-built by emerging sculptor Michael Ferris. The project transforms a traditional summer house into a modern, off-grid haven designed for creative living.
In the design of the Jaffa apartment, an engineering effort was invested to connect the spaces in scope to create a flow between them.
The clients showed some images, their ideas generally were of a ‘ranch ’styled house. It was a bit more Texan in feel, and this was fine as I had been influenced before by a Texan design.
Steel screens and profiled-metal cladding and roofs accentuate the heavy metal theme, while cedar to the north and the street elevation softens the house as a neighbourly presence in the street.
