The Char House

A new residence that was inspired by a fallen burnt tree branch on a rocky mountain bike track.

Situated in a suburban street, the site is orientated in a north-south direction, with a steep slope falling to the north.

During a mountain bike ride at one of the local mtb tracks, I stumbled across a fallen burnt branch on a steep embankment, that was leaning on a large boulder. This became the inspiration that would eventually work with the sites steep slope and the owners desire to use timber and stone in the project.
