Project update
Southern Highlands of New South Wales, in the town of Mittagong,
The primary form expressed in a restrained, blackened material palette reads as a deliberate insertion within the rural landscape, its massing composed to balance solidity and void. Openings are carefully proportioned, framing views while reinforcing the depth and weight of the façade.
The emerging stonework establishes a tactile dialogue with the site. Rather than applied decoration, it operates as a grounded plinth and landscape datum, mediating between built form and terrain.
The architecture begins to feel anchored embedded rather than placed as the material language extends outward into retaining elements and surrounding works.
