Oyster Cove House
Dwelling within a leafy canopy
Located 20 minutes south of Hobart in a bush setting the Oyster Cove house creates a series of living platforms for a steel fabricator and his family.
The brief was for a modest home with steel as a natural material selection
Using the spans that steel can afford the floor was elevated above the difficult terrain and created a lightness in both the interior and exterior appearance.
Large expanses of glass capture the surrounding trees from forest floor to skying canopy.
The winged roof forms allowed a mezzanine level and an economy in water catchment and leaf maintenance.
