At LAHAUS, we believe every space tells a story. Physical spaces have the power to evoke feelings, bring up memories, and help create new ones. Our designs connect people with places and each other, creating meaningful experiences. We design intentionally, seeking balance through integrity. Our team brings together diverse experience across residential and commercial architecture and interiors, with a commitment to delivering exceptional design outcomes for our clients. LAHAUS supports the DIA, with a judging role at the 2019 DIA Awards, and is committed to elevating the next generation of designers through secondary and tertiary education tutoring and mentoring.

About the Project

Located on a working cattle farm in the Great Southern Region of Western Australia, Upland Farm’s Cabins ‘Wren’ and ‘Forest’ were conceived as a space for mindful, meaningful, authentic activities that foster community and rural living. The design outcome responds to the seasons: Winter, a place to retreat and watch the weather pass through; Summer, a space that breathes and opens to the solstice climate; Year-round, a place to stargaze from the soaking tub or open fire. The architecture was to be timeless, sustainable, compact, deliberate, and intrinsic with the surroundings, offering an immersive and restorative experience – authentically rural.
