This new residence was built on a steep, bush site in Mt Cotton. The home is designed to connect to the bush environment and to house a multi-generational family. Close attention to the planning was made to create both connection and separation for the family members as they occupy the home.

The design successfully adhered to the BAL-29 fire regulations while ensuring the home could comfortably sit on the steep terrain. The outcome is a home that feels both in harmony with the bushland surroundings and provides a cohesive environment for the family.
