Rye Residence

Distinguished by its long, expansive façade that gently follows the natural contours of the land, this residence is a masterclass in site-responsive design. Nestled among coastal shrubs and native vegetation, the home merges effortlessly with its environment — a thoughtful architectural response that places harmony with the landscape at the forefront.

The design celebrates the relationship between built form and nature, with every aspect of the home positioned to enhance its connection to the outdoors. Its linear profile not only mirrors the topography but also maximises natural light, ventilation, and views across the coastal landscape. The result is a dwelling that feels embedded — not imposed — upon its site.

Inside, a curated material palette reinforces this sense of calm and cohesion. Light-toned timbers and natural stone form the base of the interior scheme, creating a soft and serene atmosphere that invites relaxation. Brass detailing offers a refined contrast — subtle yet impactful — adding warmth and sophistication without overpowering the natural aesthetic.
