The house focuses on its rugged landscape and garden setting, complimenting an existing weatherboard beach house and part of a larger residential complex. The building resonates with the natural forms that surround it, drawing on organic metaphors that infuse it with nature, and connect the in and outside.

Leaf House is shaped by the local environment. The building is located in-the-round and opens in all directions, blending together the interior and exterior in an experience that is both inside, and in the garden at the same time.

The house blends into the landscape, with undulating glass walls that shape natural light throughout the interior. Its layered, interleaved roof filters sunlight and frames keyhole views of the surroundings, offering a diffuse sense of shelter while remaining porous to light and landscape. The structure is expressive, supporting the weight of the building while reinforcing its narrative presence within the site.

Leaf House reflects and responds to its surroundings, engaging occupants with an architecture that matches an exceptional site.
