A simple farmhouse for a retiree with space for visiting children and grandchildren.
Winner of Weathertex competition for use of cladding materials, this simply timber house sits just above the flood plain, utilising breezeways, thermal chimneys and verandas for passive cooling during the hot summers typical of the area.
