Moonah Tree House

An unassuming beauty, this coastal home is crafted from understated natural materials that have been worked in a master craftsman-like manner. The house's fluid roofline and curving forms take inspiration from the adjacent golf course with its gentle undulations, curvaceous bunkers and rolling greens; perfect for our clients who are keen golfers.
Their brief asked us to create a subtle structure connected with the environment, while maximising views to the ocean and golf course.An ancient Moonah tree on the site influenced our planning for internal /external relationships. The levels of multiple outdoor decks relate to the Moonah tree's height and form, fulfilling the connections with earth, sea and air. Sustainably constructed from rammed earth, the house has a secure, stable feeling with thick earth walls that moderate temperatures year-round, so the house is always cosy and comfortable.
