Saffire Freycinet is a luxury lodge at Coles Bay on the Freycinet Peninsula in Tasmania, Australia. Circa Morris-Nunn Walker of Hobart designed it. It took 16 months to design and 16 months to build.
The lodge has a main building and twenty suites that stand apart from it. The contemporary scheme faces views toward Coles Bay and the Hazards mountains, and its form echoes coastal landforms. An entrance pier projects toward the highest vantage point, and each suite has a large celery top pine box window that frames the view.
The main building's roof uses curved Tasmanian timber beams in a ribbed structure. Materials include Huon pine, celery top pine, marble, pink granite spa stones and recycled blue gum flooring. Low-impact lighting limits light spill, and custom pendant lights by Judith Abell echo the contours of the Hazards.
