Brisbane, Australia<\/p>\n

Set among rolling hills and blue gum forest, Gympie Kin Kin is conceived as a secluded, multi-generational retreat immersed in the Australian bush.<\/p>\n

The house follows the natural ridge, framing distant views toward Noosa Heads through established stands of trees. Living spaces open generously to the landscape, supporting an informal, outward-looking way of life, while quieter rooms provide privacy and retreat. The architecture adopts the site\u2019s strong horizontal character and subdued natural tones, allowing the building to sit quietly within its setting. Stone walls anchor the house to the terrain, gradually giving way to lighter elements that mediate between interior, landscape, and canopy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
