Location
From the architect. A retreat for Ginny Loane and Gaysorn Thavat
The clients are a childless couple, a director and camera operator in the film industry, their jobs involve them filming on location for stretches of time. This house is the space to which they retreat between filming.

Floor Plan
The site is 20 hectares of farmland on the Kauaeranga river in the valley of the same name, it stretches from high on the hillside to the river banks and includes a ridgeline which commands a panoramic view of the farmland below and the native bush on the opposite slopes of the valley.
The clients brief called for a response which engaged with the site in both a filmic as well as practical way, they live a life of self-sufficiency while on the land, including growing, animal husbandry and butchery.

The clients spoke of materials that have a patina of age, of sustainability, of recycling and adaptive re-use, of provenance of materials.
Our response was to concentrate the small mass of building that the brief determined into a singular geometric form that could hold its own in the big landscape. We positioned the form straddling the ridgeline, engaged with the slope at the high end and floating above the land as it falls away.

Drawing from the vernacular of rusty corrugated iron sheds prevalent in the district, we clad the form in a rainscreen of rusted corrugated iron sheets, a rural camouflage of sorts.
The building is made largely of recycled materials and fittings, which the clients procured over the duration of the build.

If you want to learn how I process my images, my workflow and lighting techniques.
It isn’t often that you get a beautiful red sunset over Durdle Door. The weather on this little part of the coast can be completely different to how it is just a mile or so inland. But the skies looked promising as I made the drive down to the coast and I was sure that when I got there, there might be something worth photographing.
What I did find when I arrived was that the place was absolutely deserted. Durdle Door at sunset is usually littered with photographers, all standing in the same place to get the same shot and it makes life difficult for those of us who want to get a shot of something other than a close up of the ‘door’. Seriously, they all stand in the same place, like lemmings, all trying to get that one shot. Sometimes I just watch them, all standing there and never moving to get a different composition. Some of them can be there for hours. Still, on this occasion, the place was empty.
That was until Kevin started to make his way down the hill. I didn’t know Kevin at the time, but we got chatting and he seemed like a really nice guy. From North Wales, near Snowdon in fact, he had ventured down here for a training course and decided to photograph some of the local places whilst here. How I could have done with him when I was up in Snowdon a week or so back…
