This project involved the design and documentation of a new contemporary rural residence.
The design of the dwelling responds to the site, and its bushfire constraints, waterway offset, existing vegetation and outlook.
The residence is designed so that all living areas, decks and the main bedroom have outlook to the surrounding rural pastures. The orientation of the residence allows for the implementation of passive solar design, maximising solar access and ventilation.
The rural setting is reflected in the choice of materials and finishes, which include sandstone, steel and timber.
