TOTARA HILL

this is a project for a house on the hill in taranaki, nz/ an addition to the family farm, but an opportunity to investigate scale & the texture of the landscape; the experience of the grass right up to the front door & the hills right away from the gate/

view once again dominates the programme/ how to deal with the connectiveness of the place on the hill/

something simple/ something crafted/ something that can grow a bit rough

a 2-stage proposal, the aim is to create a building that can breathe & absorb the landscape, with negative & positive space represented in subtle ways through the form of the building, but in a domestic way
