Chances are you’ve already come across Studio Tasmania by Matt Williams Architects, widely published across leading design blogs and magazines for its striking design, remote coastal setting and deeply considered connection to landscape. Now, there’s an opportunity to experience it firsthand. We’re offering the chance to win an exclusive architecture stay in this one-of-a-kind retreat, immersed in the raw beauty of the Tasmanian coastline, where design, nature and solitude come together in a truly unforgettable way.
Set against the wild, untouched coastline of Dolphin Sands, Studio Tasmania is a striking architectural retreat that captures the essence of Tasmanian coastal living. Positioned along the sweeping stretch of 9 Mile Beach, the studio is both refined and deeply connected to its surroundings, where glazing frames uninterrupted views of the ocean, dunes and ever-changing sky. The architecture is deliberately restrained allowing the building to recede into the landscape so that the landscape takes centre stage.
If you’re yearning for a stay where the rhythm of the ocean sets the tone for your day, Studio Tasmania offers exactly that. Wake to the sound of waves rolling onto shore, enjoy slow breakfasts as native wildlife moves quietly through the surrounding landscape, read a book and drink a glass of wine at the window seat and end your evenings with an outdoor bath beneath a sky full of stars. It’s a place designed for complete immersion inviting you to slow down with your plus one, disconnect from the everyday and reconnect with your surroundings in a truly meaningful way.
Beyond the retreat itself, the region offers an incredible array of local experiences waiting to be explored. From world-class beaches stretching along the coastline to some of Tasmania’s most celebrated wineries, the area is rich with destinations that elevate your stay. Spend your days discovering cellar doors and tasting cool-climate wines or follow the coast to iconic spots like Melshell’s Oyster Shack for fresh, local seafood straight from the source that you can take back to enjoy on the deck. With a mix of natural beauty and standout food and wine experiences, it’s the perfect setting for those wanting to balance quiet retreat with moments of exploration.
Open for only a limited window each year, Studio Tasmania offers a rare opportunity to experience this remarkable retreat before it closes again for winter. Whether you’re planning a romantic escape, celebrating a special anniversary, or simply craving time to log off and reconnect with nature, this is the moment to book. With the coastal landscape at its most inviting and the studio offering complete privacy and stillness, it’s the perfect setting to slow down, reset and fully immerse yourself in the experience.
