This project seeks to understand the ways in which a house can act to mediate and orchestrate an encounter with a powerful view.
Recalling earlier experiences of landscapes, and particularly sea-cliffs in southern Tasmania, we have proposed a kind of ‘landscape interior’ that holds the view between two mezzanine ‘cliffs’. This strategy results in an increased wall length internally, thereby also increasing the potential for engagement with more discrete oblique views over the Derwent River and wider cityscape.
