Saddleback Mountain House is the result of eight years of planning and construction to fulfill a family's dream for a home that would support their growing children and a lifestyle strongly connected to the outdoors. From the beginning, the clients asked for a house that responded directly to its landscape, using robust materials and passive design principles to create a sustainable home that would endure and adapt over time.

Permanent Camping 3 (PC3) at Orange continues an architectural lineage that began with PC1 in Mudgee and PC2 in Berry, yet stands as its own distinctive response to place, climate, and the evolving ethos of minimal living. Built on a working sheep farm, as short-stay boutique accommodation, the cabins are the product of a long process of iterative design. Located some ten minutes outside the NSW regional centre of Orange, the project comprises two sharply profiled A-frame steel cabins that rest lightly on the undulating terrain in a form reminiscent of a tent. Their presence is both utilitarian and sculptural, shaped by economy, climate, and the desire for retreat. The cabins had to support reflection, allow engagement with the environment, and offer a degree of shelter that feels both grounded and elevated above everyday life.
