Georgia Contemporary Borrows Charm from the Arts and Crafts Movement

Horizontally muntined windows invite the mature rainforest in to a soaring bathroom lined with black slate and oiled wood.

It’s all part of a truly a one-of-a-kind home, both personal and contemporary, quirky and timeless.

An Arts and Crafts Movement ambience infuses its pleasant conservatory with its sliding wood paneled doors.

The charming house adopts the low-tech sustainability of an underground rainwater collector.

Huge overhangs are high enough above generous windows preventing heat gain in summer while inviting the low winter sun deep into the rooms.

The intimate intellectual feel of the Arts and Crafts movement can be also be seen in this combination of stone and the masculine woodworking details.

The soaring roofline of the sleeping space generates a dreamlike feeling of being carried up into the forest canopy.

By contrast, the low-ceilinged living room is cosy and convivial, an invite to conversation and sharing.

A brunch suspended in the trees is warmed by the wood ceiling and stone fireplace.
