Zulaikha Laurence Tree Change House / Studio ZAWA

Perched beneath Woodhill Mountain on the NSW South Coast, this project for Brian Zulaikha and Janet Laurence reimagines a modest rural home into a place of deep connection with garden, light, and climate. The house, surrounded by an established native garden and vibrant wildlife, was bought by the couple to enjoy exactly that — nature. The design response by Studio ZAWA seeks to dissolve the threshold between house and garden with a light, sensitive touch.
