The beauty of less.
This Small House Will Make You Rethink What You Actually Need
Can a house be compact and finished in black, yet feel expansive and filled with light? Faced with the challenge of a steep and bushfire-prone site, Alpine House is the designer’s own home, conceived as a modest house that suits their needs and elevates the way they live.
Seeking to pare life back to what mattered most, the design is a direct reflection of how he and his partner wanted to live. A bold cantilever gives the sense of floating above the hillside, creating dramatic moments both within and beyond the home.
Inside, black-stained plywood, full-height glazing and restrained detailing come together to create a sense of calm and enclosure, framing the views over Myrtleford and toward Mount Buffalo.
