Mullawirra at Willunga

The brief for this project was to create a family home which maximised the stunning views down the valley and the native bushlands located on the eastern corner of the site.

The design philosophy for the house drew inspiration from the structure of the rocky outcrop located around the site and the desire to capture the natural beauty of the site.

The backbone of the house (living areas and secondary bedrooms) is angled to follow the contours of the land and is transparent in appearance to maximise the views down the valley.  The master bedroom pod is skewed at an angle away from the main house to address the dense bushland and provide a more intimate and private aspect away from the panoramic views. The obtuse angle between the two building elements is reflective of the structure of the slate rock formation located within the region. The angular stone walls through the residence are reflective of stone veins which run through the site and anchor the building into the landscape.

As our clients settle into their new home, they are thoroughly enjoying the natural wonders that this site offers them.
