Three small buildings and the spaces between provide a second home for a young family within a forest clearing overlooking Golden Bay. Two buildings are inhabited: the larger for the family, the smaller for friends or the kids, with peripheral decks to connect to the clearing and fly roofing to protect from the eucalypt trees and collect rainwater. The third building provides independent amenities to the external spaces which are controlled in volume by the placement of buildings within and to the edge of the clearing, allowing camping, friends, frisbee… Materials are chosen for their blending to the surrounding bush and dappled forest light.
