Residential › Private House
A compact, living and breathing house.A central living zone connected to a large north-facing verandah.
Blur the line between a courtyard house and a traditional Australian verandah house.
A private house, accessible to friends and family with the back door working as front.
Natural materials - timber cladding, plywood, cedar doors and internally recycled painted brick and stone.
The large verandah to get the most out of outdoor living in colder months.
Ample shade during the hottest months. Reverse brick veneer construction and a carefully crafted passive solar envelope for a very comfortable living environment.
The heating and cooling systems are rarely used.A house for the beautiful contrasts of Victorian climate.
