This idyllic coastal location appears to be in a remote part of Tasmania. But it?s only a 25-minute drive from Hobart.

Perched on an escarpment, and overlooking Frederick Henry Bay, May?s Point was originally farmland and only recently broken into large parcels of land, this one being 20 hectares. The plot was purchased by a Sydney couple with three adult children and who were looking for a holiday house. They had seen architect Stuart Tanner?s ?Dunalley House?, completed in 2016 and appreciated its simplicity and the relation to that terrain, feeling part of it rather than added. ?That house, like this one, isn?t about competing with the landscape. The terrain is powerful in its own right,? says Stuart, who, being a surfer, was as mindful of how this new house would appear from those riding the surf directly below. ?It wasn?t an appropriate place to ?scream for architectural attention,? he adds.
