Text description by
Coolamon House sits on an escarpment position on the edge of the Tweed Caldera providing breathtaking views. The house is planned around an oasis courtyard to create a protected garden at its core, with a transparent outer shell to allow visual immersion in the vast surrounding landscape. Further views are captured across its landscaped green heart, with private spaces concealed behind hardwood cladding. Principally a one-bedroom home, the pool, laundry, powder room and ancillary guest accommodation are accessed via a covered path around the courtyard perimeter, with the garage and office located off the driveway. Users leave the outside world behind as they approach the house on foot, taking in the finely tapering slab cantilevering out into the panoramic expanse beyond. Extending out from the steep site the building appears to float, with developing patinas settling over the raw palette of concrete, blackbutt and folded brass.
