2015 Southern Architecture Awards Winner

Closeburn House

Designed as a series of simple forms, this gracefully detailed home eloquently resides within the existing contours of its site, while also presenting itself to the surrounding mountains with a breath-taking cantilever. Cleverly conceived and executed spaces and connections within the plan create intrigue and excitement for the occupants, while scale and the sense of journey are articulated upon entry, with stepping pavers and platform slabs setting the pace. Bold, simple materials - pre-weathered zinc, cedar and board-finish concrete – provide an honest, timeless palette, while new materials are meticulously scribed to the rugged natural rocky outcrops, further reinforcing the architect’s emphasis on ‘natural belonging’.
