Dales Of Derby

Location: Derby, Tasmania 

Scope: Group Accommodation, North East Tasmania.

Located in the picturesque region of northeast Tasmania, Dales Of Derby is a home away from home and a place to stay next to the river on the edge of town.

An introductory building to Derby, the gable roof suggests a link to the local mining history, calling to mind utilitarian tin miner accommodation, high country slab hut or tractor shed.

Facilitating large groups, the building presents a series of varied experiences, perhaps even evokes a certain memorable naivety of fun, friends, kids, and a splash of primary colour, a splash in the river, a fireplace, a place to remember.

The built form is a singular functional object separated into pieces and strung out across the hill between road and river.

Gaps become significant framing moments of eucalyptus forest while nighttime gable lighting castes a permanent golden hue to greying timber walls; a memory of the raw timber cut, glowing on the outskirts of town.
