A new modern rural dwelling built with rammed earth, concrete, timber, glass and steel set in a formal orchard garden. A garden platform establishes a firm human connection to landform and links three rammed earth monoliths. The connection to the panoramic view is intimate and varied. Strong, clear and site responsive formal geometries unify the landscape with the house. The monumentality of the construction addresses both the exposed condition and recalls the local vernacular rammed earth chicory kilns. A thorough exercise in place-making.
