Designed by renowned architect Paul Uhlmann and expertly constructed by Sanctuary 28 builders, Cloudview is an idyllic two-bedroom holiday cabin perched atop the peak of Springbrook Mountain, enveloped by a lush cloud forest. This collaboration has brought to life a retreat that is not only deeply integrated with its environment but also showcases the signature style of Uhlmann’s thoughtful architectural approach. The dense rainforest that encases the cabin provides a secluded atmosphere, while its elevated position offers expansive views stretching from the forest canopy down to the distant coast.
Uhlmann’s design for Cloudview emphasises a harmonious blend of protection and panoramic beauty, allowing for an immersive experience in nature. The interior features dark finishes that enhance the external greens and sky vistas, directing the gaze outward and creating a striking contrast. The U-shaped layout maximizes scenic views from the living area and ensures privacy for the two ensuited bedrooms. The architectural ingenuity extends to the sloping roof which converges into a central deck, a design choice by Uhlmann that simplifies maintenance tasks such as gutter cleaning—vital for a structure that relies on collected rainwater.
Sanctuary 28’s craftsmanship is evident in the construction quality and the seamless integration of the inverted roof design, which not only adds to the aesthetic but also optimizes interior openness. This allows the cabin to breathe with the forest air and soak up ample sunlight, enhancing the airy and inviting atmosphere inside. Thanks to the combined expertise of Paul Uhlmann and Sanctuary 28 builders, Cloudview stands as a true sanctuary in the clouds, offering a unique and tranquil escape in the heart of Springbrook’s natural splendour.
