Contemporary Luxe Compact Retreats

Cameron Anderson Architects Designs the Gilay Estate

— July 3, 2024 — Art & Design
Cameron Anderson Architects designs the Gilay Estate, which is a compact and tranquil retreat located in the rural backdrop of New South Wales, Australia. The small space is a cozy retreat that is meant to form a luxe and comfortable living experience. It is built outside of Quirindi, which is home to only 2000 people.

The exterior is visually pleasing with a stealthy look -- it is comprised of sloped sheet metal along the roof with large overhangs to protect from the sunlight. The Gilay Estate is made up of charred timber cladding and the interior only measures about 40 square meters on one floor. It is mostly made up of an open living area with a wood-burning stove, a king-size bed, and a kitchen.
