The linear plan was a simple translation of previous inhabitation along the edge of a majestic tree line separating a deep billabong and an open valley floor.
The house opens freely to the north. It allows the inhabitants to move to spaces deeper within the protection of the tree canopy as the season dictates. An elemental structure embedded in the valley floor suggesting both openness and protection.
