Perched atop a hill's edge within the Byron Bay Hinterland, Federal House designed by Edition Office is a platform from which to observe the landscape.
Within the hills of its hinterland site, the house aims to facilitate a highly experiential relationship with its surroundings while remaining consciously aware of its outsider and temporal status within the deep timelines of that landscape. Open-air halls encircle a central fern garden, falling to a sheltered, subterranean pool.The home’s design experiments with light and form to create a distinct way of living within a remarkable location.
Edition Office is an architecture studio based in Melbourne, Australia. Through the execution of its built work and research, the practice is creating an ongoing series of figures, relics, stories and relationships; all continuing a greater investigation into material and spatial practice.
