Architecture studio Wood Marsh has used curving walls of charred timber and rammed earth to create this home called Peninsula House in the south of Melbourne, Australia. Text description provided by the architects. As an artistic architectural response to Australia?s coastline and the contours of the rural landscape, Peninsula House forms a dramatic sculptural relic, weathered by its context. The dwelling is located on the high point of the site, overlooking a coastal stretch of Flinders with Bass Strait beyond. Approached along a meandering driveway, a ribbon of rammed earth rises monumentally 10 meters into the air, wrapping behind the dwelling before gradually tapering and returning to the landscape. The elevation has minimal glazing and considerable thermal mass ? stabilizing the heat from the afternoon sun. A notch midway along the wall forms a shadow line, subtly defining the entry.
