By Fineline Architecture
Nestled on a steep site, this house maximises functionality and views while taking inspiration from industrial buildings to bring a cost-effective home to a busy family. The design is simple but integrates high-performance elements to ensure low energy consumption and thermal comfort. Outdoor living spaces are thoughtfully incorporated, and privacy is managed with warm timber screens that contrast with the light industrial exterior cladding.
