The central concept behind the design of Southern Highlands House was to create a transparent pavilion that hovered above the landscape. Designed to blend seamlessly, the internal and external spaces are conceived as one. This frames and maximises views of the surrounding landscape while creating a sense of retreat and calmness within the interior.
