Projects:
Dux Nutz
Smiths Lake, 2010
This confident, contemporary home is set amongst tall eucalypts on the shores of Smiths Lake on the Midnorth Coast of NSW. Located on a steep, south facing site, the house has been cleverly designed to respond to the sun’s path, prevailing winds, key views and the existing topography. The use of timber as a key element of the design was important in blending the home with the site and providing a warmth to compliment the rammed earth walls. Timber offers a tactility that is a soothing and comfortable presence to the occupants.
Charlotte Bay House
Midnorth Coast NSW, 2011
A striking contemporary energy efficient home constructed of rammed earth and australian hardwoods. The house has also been designed with minimum toxins and has very low amounts of electromagnetic radiation.
Orange Grove House
Smiths Lake, 2010
Set among tall eucalypts, this contemporary house is constructed from a mix of colorbond steel (to shield from bushfire), rammed earth and australian hardwoods. On a difficult south facing site the house has been designed to capture north sun to all rooms and still maintain it the stunning views to the south.
