Jane Power grew up on large farm and, as an adult, had visions of waking up and looking out her bedrooom window at lots of trees, something she’s finally managed to do in her new home by award-winning architect David Boyle.

“I had read about the work he was doing in sustainable architecture, with natural materials assembled in a decorative way,” says Jane. “Of all the architects I met, David gave me the most confidence. He was respectful of our budget and completely got my desire to create my own four-bedroom ‘treehouse’.”

Completed in 2017 after a year-long build, the multi-level dwelling is perfectly set into its sloping, bushy block. Inside, the home is open plan but with areas that can be closed off or opened up, thanks to wide thresholds and hidden doors.
