Inspired by Japanese principles of simplicity and stillness, Tallong House frames the landscape with quiet precision. Carefully placed windows frame moments of sky, tree canopy, and shifting light, creating a choreography of frames that change with the day. The low, linear form is approached via an elevated entry sequence, its dark timber cladding and minimal material palette reinforcing a sense of calm. A pebble driveway leads into the site, while to the rear a firepit anchors views across the undulating terrain. Internally the timber-lined interiors are contemporary, creating a retreat that feels grounded in its rural setting yet attuned to the quiet drama of the surrounding landscape.
