Description provided by designers.
Marc & Co’s House for Birdwood is a home that fosters a strong connection with the landscape, inspired by the clients’ childhood memories of creek beds. A series of stepped levels integrate with the steep terrain, while revegetation transforms the once-barren site. The experiential journey mimics nature – hidden entries, shifting light, reflective water, organic materials, curved walls and rocks.
The linear plan bends to capture northern light and key views, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor spaces. A paradise garden at ground level offers leisure, feasting, and relaxation by the pool.
Sustainability is central to the design, featuring significant rainwater storage, a solar array and a rooftop permaculture garden.
The architecture embraces relaxed, honest spaces, blending into the landscape and offering a variety of places for leisure, feasting, lush planting, fragrance and swimming in a private setting.
