Kimo Estate
A sheltered patio provides the perfect place to sip wine and take in the views.
Given the remote hilltop location, the architects opted for a simple A-frame structure with locally sourced materials.
Sustainably sourced Australian hardwoods are used throughout the tiny dwelling, while handcrafted details evoke the character of the surrounding agricultural buildings.
David Ferguson of Kimo Estate took construction into his own hands in a two-person owner-builder team.
A freestanding Nectre wood-burning stove provides extra warmth in winter, while operable louvers let in cooling breezes in summer.
Stargazing is easy thanks to the lack of light pollution.
The glazed door and other openings allow guests to enjoy sunset views from bed.
The A-frame structure is elevated on pad footings.
Lightweight corrugated zinc roof sheeting clads the exterior.
