Kalinya Landing continues the studio’s ongoing interest in an Australian rural typology combining elements of prior works into a refined, elongated structure set alongside a national park and overlooking a granite outcrop. The house is wrapped in a large, protective, semi-adjustable shell over a series of regular structural bays that intentionally reference rural agricultural buildings. The internal spaces offer a degree of enclosed protection and generous views that draw sunlight in and through. A long plan provides access from the grounded west end, gently maintaining its height as the topography falls away below to frame distant easterly views over ancient rock formations while taking in the immediate panorama of the surrounding native landscape. The formal undercover veranda extends along the length of the house and can be entered from the south as the breezeway ramps down towards the easterly living area. A multifunctional middle bay includes an adaptive guest room with fold down beds, built in bunk and storage connected by large panel doors separating a study and sitting area.
The material palette at Kalinya Landing further references the rural vernacular utilising a combination of sheet metal around the perimeter with refined guttering and detailing. Internally, spaces are composed of clean lines and balanced proportions carefully lined in a warm material palette to instill the residence with a sense of wellbeing through daily life.
