Contemplation House / Virginia Kerridge Architect

Set in a magical setting in the hills of Byron Bay the house has an extraordinary view of the sea and sky, and sits in a private rural and rainforest setting. All seasons of nature are observed firsthand by this house on the hill. The owners are very interested in the philosophy of Indigenous peoples and these philosophies are reflected in the design. Among ideas explored was the idea of the life of a man being a circle from childhood to childhood; another was the idea of connectivity with nature.
