The architect has taken the alpine vernacular of the gable form and given it a contemporary twist in this spacious home overlooking Lake Hayes. The plan creates separate spaces for a family of three adults, connected by corridors that display a creative appreciation for materiality and design. While the alpine landscape plays a clear role in the material selections, the delivery is pleasantly unexpected, with a mix of schist, metal, glazing, and timber creating a refined textural experience inside and out.
