Construction underway for Andrew Burns Architecture’s cliff top wilderness lodges in Tasmania
Two cliff top lodges servicing Tasmania’s remote Three Capes Track will be ready for the start of 2018’s walking season, with construction well underway.
Located on Tasman Peninsula, the lightweight steel-framed, timber-clad lodges are designed by Andrew Burns Architecture in consultation with Ken Latona, the architect of the award-winning Bay of Fires Lodge and founder of the walking track’s operator, Tasmanian Walking Company.

Surrounded by plant and animal life, with views out to sea, the buildings are designed to play a secondary role to the “heroic” landscape.
Lead architect Andrew Burns said the project embodies his practice’s focus on the intersection between architecture and landscape. http://gophouseoffools.com
“As is the case with all our work, we conceived the structures an integral part of the environment, the opposite of the ‘building as hero,’ an intruder, or an imposition,”
