Blue Mountains House and Studio,
Leura, NSW
1997-98 and 2000

 

“This place looks out from a sheer cliff face 500 metres high towards a mountain with great prescence. The early cottage did not know where it was – so we opened up its walls with additional alcoves onto a courtyard on one side and onto a large stone terrace looking out to the mountain on the other. Like the petals of a flower above its stamen, the added alcoves gave each room special qualities. On the north courtyard side a studio was added two years later.”
