Stonepath

Set within the terrain of Katoomba on Gundungurra Country, Stonepath explores how architecture can rebuild through the language of the land. The design follows the natural contours, allowing the building to grow with the slope rather than resist it. Three terraces express the site’s layered character: limestone defines the raw ground, basalt cobblestones form the crafted path of human movement, and reclaimed brick preserves the memory of what once stood. A sandstone wall grounds the gallery, linking the building to the geology and time of the place. The structure is carried by gum and spotted gum timber columns and trusses, their strength and warmth binding the architecture to the forest ecology. Stonepath becomes a journey — a renewal, memory, and belonging that listens to the Country.
