Treetop Studio

2015 – 2018

‘Every move across all scales of this building has been thoughtfully and economically resolved resulting in a building that is greater than the sum of its parts.’

The Treetop Studio sits propped on stilts above an open carport below. Peeping out from between the neighbouring jacaranda and eucalyptus trees, this small building provides a creative space for a writer and musician.

Responding to the strict and highly prescriptive requirements of the local council regulations, the design addresses the rear lane with a neat clipped and conservative public face. The form then shifts and skews towards the front terrace house creating a playful and unexpected structure of layered angles and reflections.
