Vineyard House is located on a large regional property in the Surfcoast hinterland west of Torquay and is surrounded by rolling hills and farmland. Set into the hillside overlooking the expansive property, the form of the house is informed by the natural contours of the site. Opening around a large planted courtyard, the buildings appears as a solid stone monolith with carefully considered penetrations set deep to reveal the mass of the walls while providing framed views of the distant hills and vineyard. The house reveals itself as it extends to the north and steps down with the slope of the site while the roof edge is carefully set to maintain a constant datum allowing the generosity of form to project above the rolling hillside.
