A ‘tree – house’ hideaway designed for a couple, on a steep hillside facing Lion Rock. The brief stipulated an apartment scaled dwelling in the bush, a contemporary bach, with restrained dimensions dictated by utility. The dark shell blends deliberately into the trees and contrasts with the glow of interior spaces.

The challenging site required a winch and trolley to transport construction materials.

About the
Professional

The design philosophy of Hoxha Bailey Architects is founded on values of regional modernism. Our projects are strongly driven by a contextual response to topography, climate, views, and the concept of prospect and refuge. Underpinning every project is our commitment to a rigorously resolved and efficient floor plan, and a considerate use of space and materials.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
