Entry Description

Howqua River Lodge is a model of self-sufficient architecture and resilient design, balancing off-grid independence with high-performance living in a pristine alpine environment.
The lodge draws on the natural benefits of this site in the Howqua Valley within the Victorian Alps, which was selected not just for its spectacular, enveloping outlooks but also for its northern light, natural ventilation, and abundant rainfall. Expansive glazing and framed outlooks offer panoramic views of the valley by day and open to a spectacular canopy of stars by night.
