Killora Bay House / Lara Maeseele + Tanner Architects

Overlooking the D'Entrecasteaux Channel, Killora Bay is a seasonal holiday home designed for a young family and friends. The house siting and form is heavily conditioned by its delicate environmental setting. Populated by a dense canopy of Tasmanian White Gums and stands of Grass Trees, the site is a sanctuary for the Forty Spotted Pardalote. This necessitated a planning condition limiting the building envelope to a predetermined site and 18m diameter ‘footprint’ on the southern corner of the site – which shares a boundary to the road behind.
