Doctors Point House
By Mason & Wales Architects
“Set within a lush coastal landscape this meticulously crafted home is infused with the spirit of our vernacular architecture. An indulgent, cascading passageway that follows the gentle fall of the earth forms the building spine linking the internal volumes. Together with a series of timber framed picture windows this passageway intimately engages with the native flora and landscape beyond. The successful marrying of architecture and landscape yields a rich sensory experience.”
