This striking five-bedroom home — including a self-contained guest studio — is the result of over a decade of planning and vision. Cleverly designed across three distinct levels, it makes the most of a steep, triangular, rock-filled site with uninterrupted lake views.

A technical and rewarding build, this project combines rugged natural elements with refined detailing. Rich timber floors, walls, doors and ceilings are crafted from locally sourced beech, while recycled Australian hardwoods feature on the cladding, soffits and rainscreens for a cohesive finish. The central courtyard, framed by schist boulders and steel web forge grating, adds a rustic agricultural feel.

Modern and highly efficient, the home uses prefabricated wall and roof panels, passive design principles, and triple-glazed, carefully oriented windows. An air-to-water heat pump and solar panels help power the home year-round.
