Text description provided by the architects. Mountain Range House develops research and analysis of previous practice projects where traditional Pacific verandahs have provided intermediary living space at the transition of building to landscape. In attractive climates these external transition spaces, often finished in simple timbers, collect activity at the building edge where physical and visual access to landscape is unrestricted, immediate and inviting. Without enclosing walls, a verandah forms a single space held between horizontal flooring and roofing planes, and orientated outwards to the surrounding landscape by the building behind and transverse access.
