Cloudview Springbrook

Cloudview is a two bedroom holiday cabin located on the peak of Springbrook mountain within the cloud forest . This dense rainforest completely surrounds the site , however the site elevation allows views over the forest down to the coast. The design idea was to provide a protected living space that took advantage of the views , while also engaging in the adjoining rainforest . The dark interiors help focus the views on the forest and clouds.

The U shaped plan provides sweeping views from the living room whilst also providing separation for both the ensuited bedrooms . The building design has a roof slopes that falls into the central deck. This allows for ease of maintenance on the gutter cleaning , which is essential as roof water is the only water on the site . The inverted roof design allows the interiors to to open up towards the forest and take advantage of all available sunlight .
