West Hobart House

Hobart, Tasmania 2023

A hiking hut, refined.

Our clients for this West Hobart renovation have a deep connection to hiking in the Tasmanian wilderness, finding particular joy in their multi-night stays in rustic hiking huts. In turn, our vision for this renovation project sought to blend the enduring appeal of hiking hut aesthetics with a refined touch, creating a unique living space that marries the old with the new.

Outdoors at home.

A large clerestory window and glass sliders were introduced to the new extension to open the existing house up to the landscape, and make the most of the site orientation, softening the barriers between inside and out.

To elevate the interior design, soft linen curtains gently diffuse natural light, and create an atmosphere of warmth and comfort. Terracotta and natural stone tiles, and brass tapware further balance the home's beautiful juxtaposition of rugged practicality and refined aesthetics.

This warm, modern living area features rich timber paneling and polished wood floors that extend toward an outdoor patio. Sliding glass doors reveal an outdoor dining set framed by vertical timber slats, while the interior is furnished with a dark green lounge and a circular black coffee table.
This modern exterior features a mix of white brick and a red corrugated metal roof with a striking vertical peak. A large window is screened by slender timber slats, and a black dog walks along the concrete path in the foreground.
These wooden double doors feature intricate leadlight glass panels with an Art Deco geometric design. Central diamond segments depict stylized mountain landscapes surrounded by textured amber and clear glass sunburst patterns. This modern bathroom features terracotta-coloured vertical tiles and a floating wooden vanity. It is equipped with a grey concrete vessel sink, brass hardware, and a large mirror that reflects a unique beige vase with white flowers.
This bathroom detail features terracotta-toned tiles paired with brass hardware, including a circular towel ring. A patterned zigzag towel hangs in the foreground, while the background reveals a dark, slate-tiled shower area accented by a horizontal brass shelf. This kitchen detail features a wall of narrow, vertical tiles in a rich, textured brown-orange hue. The tiling is positioned next to a dark wood window frame and is partially obscured by the curved, metallic surface of a stainless steel range hood.
