On Wadawurrung Country near Barwon Heads, Josh Cole of WORKCRAFT designs First House Past the Trees—a residence in three parts built around three protected Moonah trees.
The formerly vacant site undulates along its length into three distinct conditions: entry from the street, space below the canopy, and an exposed area to the rear. These existing rhythms directly inform the arrangement of the house, which is made up of three parts: two sheds that form entry points from the street while providing storage and facilitating the workings of the garden; an L-shaped sleeping pavilion oriented around the central Moonah trees; and a living pavilion, open and light, containing the house’s everyday utilities. @workcraft.info@benhoskingphotographer

After the handover of First House Past the Trees, I’ve spent some time building a website under the title WORKCRAFT - a name that encompasses my curiosity regarding architecture, furniture and other things. I’ve added some writing and additional drawings to the project, with some new projects underway. A big thank you to @atla_constructions , @simontaylorlandscapedesign and @brettessinglandscapes for their fantastic work and commitment to the project.
CW03 Chair and stool - During the process of construction, we chose to lop an existing Sugar Gum (eucalyptus cladocalyx). As a means of incorporating sustainability into the project, we decided to utilise as much of the timber stock as possible to use for furniture within and around the house.
The CW03 Chair and Stool are loose additions to the outdoor entertaining areas. Each piece can be used individually or in multiples to form a bench, with or without a backrest.
