The Banksia House moves away from the idea of the conventional luxury holiday home by creating an experience for the residents to connect with family, friends and the natural environment. With the landscape given priority in the design, each internal space is connected to a garden either visually or physically. Everyday activities such as cooking, dining, lounging, sleeping and bathing can happen either in or outdoors.
