Arranged around a protective central courtyard, 3 large containers are created with unique identity and function.
The main central container houses the living spaces and main bedroom. Positioned to take advantage of the view to Wilsons Promontory, its defining core ten feature floats above the ground, extending into the environment via a suspended battened screen.
The adjacent steel ribbed bedrooms quarters takes advantage of views of the site, each with a sense of privacy and intimacy to the 3 additional guest bedrooms.
An ancillary wing is clad with locally sourced stone, providing a solid base for the garage and utility spaces for the farm.
