Low, sculptural and elemental, The Blunt House is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom dwelling that invites stillness. Its horizontal form and pared-back palette are anchored in the landscape; interiors are composed to frame fleeting moments — the first light spilling over Norfolk Bay, the wild rush of weather, the hush of dusk. It is at once a shelter and a stage for the natural theatre beyond its walls. Set within 100 breathtaking acres at Koonya on the Tasman Peninsula — just one hour from Hobart Airport — the property, known as Triptych, is a meditation on time, materiality and the experience of silence. So extraordinary is its vision that Triptych was featured on *Grand Designs Australia*, Season 11, Episode 1 — and internationally celebrated by *The Local Project*, which described the estate as *“an architectural journey into light, stillness and profound spatial clarity.”* The main living pavilion is both generous and refined, its modern kitchen, expansive dining and lounge areas, and vast windows ensuring an unbroken connection to the outdoors. A Chiminee Philippe wood heater lends elemental warmth, while three queen bedrooms and two sleek bathrooms extend comfort with quiet restraint. Guests are invited to inhabit the rhythms of the house itself — slow mornings unfolding across the deck, the elemental glow of firelight in the evenings, and long stretches of quietude in which to simply dwell. The surrounding landscape offers its own theatre: beaches and surf breaks, the dramatic sweep of the Tasman Peninsula, and sites of deep history such as Port Arthur and Eaglehawk Neck — all within easy reach, yet far enough to preserve a sense of stillness. Triptych, The Blunt House, stands as the realised vision of a rare collaboration between client, architect and builder. More than a residence, it is a gesture toward permanence — an architecture both restrained and enduring, deeply rooted in its setting and now, for the first time, open for others to experience.
