SOLis, hamilton island, qld

A sculptural island retreat carved into the hill, embracing the landscape.

Set within its stunning natural surroundings on Hamilton Island, the residence is sculpted from concrete, stone, block work and glass resulting in a sequence of dramatic volumes incorporating airy living spaces and private sheltered outdoor zones.

The building elements are intertwined with reflection ponds and a swimming pool, lending a sense of tranquility and sensuous tactility whilst providing casual, elegant outdoor living amid the beauty and serenity of the island.

Solis won a coveted national residential architecture award from The Australian Institute of Architects.
