The gym was added onto the existing concrete slab roof of an older guest cottage and storage area.

Steel and timber construction methods were employed to minimize the impact of concrete and other wet works, as most of the components could be manufactured off-site, reducing the environmental impact of the construction process.

The guest suite received an update with a new open-plan layout, finishes, and furnishings. There’s a main room with a minimalist kitchen, a living room with a wood wall that surrounds a television, and a dining area.
