Large house on difficult steep slope is partly dug into the hillside to create a basement platform for the upper levels

In this new home by Mason & Wales, the kitchen is positioned on the hill-facing side of the great room letting the living and dining areas take pride of place. The long island provides a casual seating hub while the timber surfaces connect with the use of wood throughout the interior. Much of the furniture for the project was imported from Australia by interior designer Di Henshall.
