Timbin House / Conrad Gargett

Drawn to the extensive vegetation rather than the views of the ocean, the client’s brief asked for an experience “like camping amongst the trees, but without the tent”. Rather than optimizing views to the ocean that may be lost over time as the foreshore vegetation matures, this home is thoughtfully woven between the existing stand of Brushbox trees on the site. By retaining as many trees as possible, the light-filled and open upper-level living spaces are connected to the canopy.
