What you should know about Tonyhobba Architects
This project was inspired by the eroding forces of the ocean. The oxiding patina nestles into the coastal cape, suggesting a segment of washed up furniture, maybe cobbled together with found materials. Overlooking Bass Straight, this large residential project sits quietly in the landscape, barely visible. The landscape was the driver for the design, with a stand of iron bark trees defining the form, scale, views, vista’s and materialality. Six years in the making, completed in late 2013, with the landscape evolution a life long project for the owners, experimenting and trialing native species. The house sits simply and successfully as a component of this landscape. Set among st a attractive established garden, this substantial additions and alterations project was shaped around two gorgeous Jacaranda trees. A rewarding and thriving community engagement process resulted in a master plan that reflects the coastal community’s aspirations for community markets, a retail precinct, conference facilities, walking and cycling trails, ecobased tourist accommodation, boating and fishing operations and facilities. A dedicated day spa, yoga studio, conferencing facilities, treatment and consulting rooms, gymnasiums, swimming pools are designed to nestle sensitively into the flimsy landscape while providing a calm and nurturing experience. Inspired by the sandstone caves and cliffs at the bottom of the site, this project had a requirement to accommodate an extended family of 37. Collaborating with stone, metal and glass artisans we created a multilevel cave, with materials and textures directly referencing walks on the local beach. Our approach was to bear a complete contrast in experience of rural life. The barn, restored as firm and dark, introverted and grounded, contrasts against the soaring lightweight structure that places the residents high overhead the property, a bird’s eye view, extroverted. Located on one of Victoria’s maximum loved surf beaches this family enclave accommodates three generations of a family of surfing enthusiasts and their equipment. The design of four segregate houses reflects the form of the local geography by layering the roofs cape to succeed the intricate contours. A new house overlooking the cliffs of Jarosite Beach.
