Accessible by boat only, this family bach provides permanent accommodation to replace years of holiday camping in the bush. Planning responds to past camp life with communal living and private sleeping areas. Ceiling and floors are carefully shaped and punctuated with openings to interpret and reveal the forest surrounds. Materials were chosen for their soft, natural palettes and seamlessly detailed for a consistency of space, allowing the variance and beauty of the bush surrounds to inform the new inhabitation.
