The sculptural form of this copper-clad home curls into its site, reflecting the topography of the volcanic Banks Peninsula, while its contoured roofline drops towards the water beyond. An intimate entranceway draws one into a voluminous, light-filled, open-plan living space that is warmed by the colours of its timber lining. The architects’ input extends to custom joinery and in-built furniture, evidencing the level of trust in their relationship with the clients. This successful collaboration between the architect, client and builder has resulted in a unique family home simultaneously practical, fun and with space for contemplation.
