Killora Bay
Bruny Island, TAS
Project Info CreditsPerched above Killora Bay with views of the D’Entrecasteaux Channel, this seasonal holiday home for a young family blends seamlessly into its delicate environment. Approached from below through dense forest, the house reveals itself gradually as a monumental, elemental form. Clad in bushfire-resistant, locally sourced Silver-Top Ash stained dark, its durable exterior reflects the surrounding white gum forest through flush-set glazing. The cladding extends into the entry, concealing joinery within the walls and creating a fluid transition between interior and exterior.
