Moon House
A place to contemplate the qualities of the moon amongst the waters
Moon House, is perched on rocks at the waters edge, like an eagles nest with a sense of silence about its form.
The windows are placed to capture the rising sun and to allow the evening sun to dance within.
The interior is a quiet cave like space, with clay walls, and low windows over the waters. Moon House was commissioned as a space for contemplation and as a viewing space for a collection of Claymoon panels.
“Moon house has a gentle, inviting and mysterious presence that calls the on looker to venture within ”
