Iveagh Bay Retreat
Project Team: Craig South | Trinity Hufflett
Located in Iveagh Bay with elevated views toward Lake Brunner, this holiday home is designed as a relaxed retreat immersed in its natural setting. The architecture is composed as a series of connected forms, balancing shared living with private escape.
A central living hub forms the heart of the home, with separate guest pods extending outward and linked by covered walkways. This arrangement creates a cohesive yet distributed layout that supports both connection and privacy, ideal for relaxed holiday living.
Generous openings and thoughtful orientation capture natural light throughout the day while framing expansive views across the landscape toward the lake. The central space provides warmth and gathering, while the individual pods offer quiet retreat, with sheltered circulation ensuring comfort in all seasons.
A simple, durable material palette grounds the home within its elevated lakeside context, with restrained detailing that emphasises longevity and ease of use. The result is a calm, flexible retreat that responds to its landscape while supporting effortless, contemporary holiday living.
