Man About the Dovecote House

In an area where expansive views can quickly overwhelm, Dovecote by Atelier Andy Carson is settled comfortably within the landscape. Comprised of The Headland and The Range – two complementing structures – the domestic haven pulls the surrounds into balance with its materiality and interior design.

Positioned alone in the South Coast town of Gerringong, Dovecote is butted by lush rolling hills that slope down towards the shoreline. The two structures embody a detailed design brief which stipulated a contemporary main house, The Headland, visually countered by a simpler construction, The Range. While The Headland depicts a clear residential agenda – standing as a telescopic form overlooking the ocean – The Range benefits from a more discreet presentation such that onlookers might mistake the dark, metal-clad building for a farmer’s shed.
