Knights Rest | SAXON HALL architecture

Nestled within the foothills of Mount Mangana in Southern Bruny Island Tasmania. Knights Rest forms a part of a collection of small outbuildings that is The Bruny Island Long Weekend Glamping Experience. Delicately placed above the moss-covered earth, Knights Rest creates a beacon within the darkened Tasmanian bushland that draws guests to its warmth and glow.

Knights Rest provides restroom facilities that enhance & provide an additional experience that weaves into pre-existing cultural and public opportunities that are already provided on The Bruny Island Long Weekend

The clean-cut windows and cladding contrast provide enhanced views out of the building whilst providing an opportunity to mirror the foliage of the bushland. The frosted polycarbonate cladding on the alternate external walls blends these two concepts, stretching the warm light at night from the building into the dark bushland whilst providing a soft wash of greenery into the spaces in the daytime.
