Alteration

Drift Bay House

Information +

An exposed Lake edge site was the location for this renovation and addition project. An existing Barn and Guest House were designed by Athfield Architects more than 20 years previously.

Additional accommodation and living requirements were achieved by adding a new two level board finished concrete gable form to the west of the existing forms. Courtyards for both entry and internal sheltered living, were created by linking the existing forms to the new area with glazed and rock clad passages. The circulation through the completed dwelling is around these courtyards, providing tranquility and views to the wider landscape.
