Wallabies Watch whispers its presence, a subtle surrender to the landscape’s embrace. The project’s reductive approach creates a serene and tranquil atmosphere, allowing nature to take center stage. The exterior’s dark, moody presence synchronizes with the shadows of the trees, while the interior’s neutral backdrop emphasizes the lightness of being. The result is a symphony of contrasts, where the made and found converge in harmony. Wallabies Watch is a fleeting testament to the beauty of restraint, a haven for those seeking refuge from the tangible world. By stripping away the unnecessary, the project reveals its beauty, beckoning occupants to surrender to the tranquillity of the surroundings.
We are thrilled with our serene farm stay, Wallabies Watch. The design is an inconspicuous haven that gently nestles into the beautiful hilltop, unencumbered by clutter and distractions. Studio MODA has delivered an incredible design that encapsulates our desire for simplicity and a wholesome lifestyle. The watch is a testament to the beauty of reductive design, where less is more, and the focus is on connection, nature, and the essence of living.
