On a large cliffside property on the hill at Portsea, this guest house sits as a timber-clad box perched atop a rendered base nestled into the hillside.

The generous guest living zone spills out onto a north facing deck with the solid masonry base of the building providing a four-car garage.

Operable screens concealed in the timber batten façade allow the house to be opened up when in use and closed down when unoccupied. The timber and textured render complement the surrounding native vegetation while defining a contemporary pavilion.
