Farm Stay Mansfield

Retreat
Rural
Landscape
Sustainability

The farm house is sited along the contours of the land, capturing spectacular views up the valley towards Mt Buller, Victoria. Guest quarters are located to one side of the kitchen and carport pod, allowing the owner’s privacy for their living and bedroom areas. Materials drawn from this rural landscape create a sustainable and familiar architectural language and bed the building into the shadows and curves of the hillside.

“Architecture is basically a container of something. I hope they will enjoy not so much the teacup, but the tea.”
– Yoshio Taniguchi
