ROCK HAVEN
UP BETWEEN THE TREES
Rock Haven in Vaucluse is an alterations and additions to an existing 1970’s monolithic home. The entrance to the house was treated as a procession through a series of private landscaped stairs. The introduction of water on the street side created a sense of serenity upon arrival.
Privacy, light and natural ventilation were prioritised in the design from the beginning. This was achieved through an enclosed courtyard creating a private outdoor area connected to all living spaces. At the rear of the property a parent’s retreat was added that floats above a rocky cliff.
