Life / A place for guests to retreat, pause and engage with slow living practices while putting on their Rossis, lighting a wood fire and walking through cow paddocks. Luxurious & rural.

Space / The designed spatial sequence allows guests to ‘pause’ the toil of daily living by dedicating space to life’s simple acts – a place to enter, to sit, to be still, to talk, to soak, to sleep and to hide. These ‘pauses’ offer deliberate moments that invite guests to ‘breathe’ and connect with self and others, to restore positive well-being.

What they wanted.
A place for people to come together and enjoy the land.

What we did.
Architecture & Interiors

How it went.
Our strong connection with the client and their vision laid the foundation for the concept that resonated deeply. Despite being pushed out of their comfort zone, the client actively embraced and trusted the design process, resulting in a significantly elevated design outcome.

What we love most.
The kitchen space – our intention with the cabinetry design was for it to read as a piece of crafted furniture. We aimed to seamlessly integrate all the necessary functional elements of a kitchen while skilfully concealing them through detailing and material choices.
